My Dad has one on his truck. It is a good finish to the K&N filter and it helps to align the air flow, along with the 4" x 14" filter that we use. He has the polished one and it has a finish on it that is real close to a chrome finish.

If your going for performance and not looks spend the money on a stubstack instead, at least that thing is dyno'd to actually help with the airflow

Noticable? I don't think either of these products will do that for you. We're talking about 5hp max or so....

If you take a look at the 2004 PHR engine masters challenge you'll notice the rules required a 14x3" commercially available air filter and housing but did not allow filtered lids eg. the x-stream. The official results have not been published yet but i heard Jon Kaase's SBF put out nearly 800 horsepower.
Huge waste of money IMO, unless you really dig the looks.
