CLA45s Armaspeed Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake

Hi all. First time poster here.
I recently got Armaspeed CAI upgrade for my C118 CLA45s. Ordered and received within A WEEK.
Watched the install video on this site and I did some research. I decided to try this product as it was a good value and pretty easy to install.

Not many threads about the intake so I am happy to share some photos to you all.

I love the look of this intake package — not as radical as the Eventuri system.
How does it sound and perform? Any thoughts?

Also—I chatted a little with my salesperson about doing this upgrade on the 35 I had originally ordered.
He said to be on the safe side he would remove and reinstall the original whenever I brought the car in for service.

is this an aftermarket lip? or just aero package?

looks more like an a45 front end to be honest.

Noted. I will uninstall it when it go for service. Thanks!
I love the sound and I found someone did a comparison with the stock intake:

This intake system obviously looks great and I heard it adds more sound as well right? But when it comes to additional power.... it doesn't really change much?
