I'm not sure why this has to be such a touchy subject, this is about the cheapest air-intake I could buy and I want to see if I can get anything out of it by adapting it to my engine and set-up. My god.
I've spent more on a good steak dinner and a Manhattan on the rocks.
At this point, even if you throw 'em in the round file, they've given the forum $59 worth of entertainment.
So, by all means, if you install them and love them, or even halfway sort-of like them, that's good enough for me. That's the whole point of this journey in the Crossfire. Make yourself smile. A LOT.
You WILL observe better gains by punching through to cooler, fresher air in front of the radiator.
You will also spend more than $59.
My intake, FWIW, cost about as much as a Needswings by the time I completed it. I could've had either, and I chose mine simply because it looks more "finished". Tomato, tom-ah-to.
