No opinions as of yet as to whether it was worthwhile -- but I don't think I will be buying AFE products in the future.

Have others had the same experience?
I don't recall having a hard time at all. Just getting the fastner on the inside of the filter box was the most difficult thing besides tightening the clamp on the manifold-side of the intake duct.
