Hi Everyone and  thanks for the feedback on the CAI. Your comments are greatly appreciated and  we take them seriously.  
  
I just wanted to go over a couple  points. 
  
1. - We include a plastic tube because an aluminum tube will  hold more heat and cause your inlet temps to go up, and thus lose  performance. 
  
2 - The kit is meant to fit snug against the liner of your  hood to seal the airbox against the hood and isolate it  from hotter engine air. 
  
3 - We have installed this  kit on several Edge vehicles for fitment and have not run into any issues with  things not fitting properly. We have also tested the kit on several different  model years. 
  
4 - We got an additional 31 HP and 25 FT LBS of torque on  several different vehicles. A dyno sheet is attached. 
  
 
  
5 - When  installing the trim on to the shield it can help to sometimes cut a slit in  the underside of the trim to help it wrap around corners. We have never had a  need to use adhesives and you should not need any. This is the same trim we  use for all of our kits, including Mustang kits which have been used in the tens of  thousands by Shelby and Ford Racing.     
  
6 - The  piece coming out of the top of the photo on our site is a resonator that does  not come with the kit. The MAF sensor mount is not visible in the photo on our  site. Now that this is being brought up we do need to update our photo to not  show the resonator. This will be done shortly. 
  
If anyone has any  questions we have a full staff of sales and support that can help with any  pre-sale or installation questions you may have. 
  
Thanks, Larry
