I just installed mine yesterday (full ram air kit). It rocks!!
The install on a 2003 5.3 hoe took me about 90 minutes.
The product looks first class. They could use some help with the instuctions and the pictures they show (B/W). But no big deal, the thing is pretty self explanatory.
Let me know if and when you get yours installed

I got to drive it a bit more to get MPG savings (they claim that it should produce 2 to 3 MPG better).
I ordered my kit back in July and just got it a few days ago. I think they ran into some sort of production slowdown or maybe some technical problems, but they are shipping now and the fit its really good for the 5.3 engine.
I had to lose the black plastic shroud that goes over the grill and radiator to allow for the air to flow (Vararam forgot to mention that in the instructions), again no big deal. If you put the shroud back on you can clearly see that it will get on the way of the air flow.

It's all good
The filter is a foam filter and it looks like it will do a good job (it is washable). Feel like it flows way better than my old drop in the box K&N.
Here are a couple of pics of the whole thing. Enjoy!
