I reckon it looks good, did you feel any difference?

I just installed my K&N Panel Filter the other week, and there is much more air flow going into the engine as registered by the MAF. Yes you can hear it too, but the supercharger has also changed it's whine as well. Doing both has definatly been an advantage, dont know if i also stated but the factory intake had also been modified to have a larger hole. Either way i know both intakes are taking in air as you can put your hand in front and feel it sucking in.

I have also updated the pictures in this HowTo so that they wont go offline for months like they have been the past few months. One picture though i have no control over.

can definitely hear it sucking in.. even cars next to me.. since the mod i can notice better mid range pickup

I think other cars can hear mine too, but when its going along the supercharger usually drowns it out. I found my low range picked up more and mid range to a small extent, mid range picked up a lot more with the newer air filter though. I guess that's due to the differences in the engines from the 3.8L to the Supercharged variant.

Would it be worth it in a vx eco? i dont see how it would get much air from behind the headlight..

It's not so much allowing more air, it's reducing the restriction of just one opening in the airbox

In a N/A ecotec , probably not really worth the effort , as Richard has mentioned , it's really only going reduce restriction , you might get more induction noise , and a bit more per tank , but gains , well that's going to open a can of worms
