Sorry to break this on you but if you haven't already done it, don't do it. I experienced bhp/torque loss throughout most rpm except at the very top end. Check out my post

It is a real PITA to get the stock airbox out and double PITA to get it back in again. But labour where I stay is relatively cheap compared to what you guys pay so I got my mechanic to put it back again. Yes, it took 3/4 of a day to get that thing back in. They had to lower the gearbox or something like that.
I missed the deep induction tone but what the hell, I'm getting more usable power and torque and that's what matters right? I've yet to dyno the car with the stock piping though. BTW, I'm using the BMC panel filter.
