Default FS or WTT: Complete SL55 intake setup with TVT tubes

Hi all,

Short version:

SL 55 setup, complete, with TVT tubes and brand new K&N filters for sale for $500, shipping and paypal fees included. You can't buy these parts anymore without spending an arm and a leg. I paid $600 for everything.

I also would like to grab a used NW DUAL CAI setup and would be willing to trade this setup plus some extra $$$ if anyone is considering the swap. From what I've read the NW dual does gain a bit more in the HP department but not sure if it'd even be noticable.

Here's the long version:

So I installed the SL55 intake setup last week and have been driving the xfire HARD since. The difference is VERY noticeable: it feels much crisper at partial and wide open throttle and you can DEFINITELY tell the difference... it is night and day as others with the SL55 setup describe. I can hear a considerable difference in supercharger whine compared to the stock setup due to the addition of unrestrictive TVT intake pipes. It is a stock looking setup, will most likely pass CARB inspections and such for those of you living in california. From reading posts, looks like about a 25 rwhp increase over stock.

HOWEVER...

I am very OCD when it comes to a lot of things, my cars included. And by very, i mean EXTREMELY. If i dont like 1 small thing in the setup, no matter how minuscule, I just wont get my "warm and fuzzy" feeling that I'm looking for and I'll scrap the project.

With that said, even though I was provided proper mounting brackets for the setup, I just don't like the way it sits. And that's enough for me to sell this setup in favor of a dual NW setup. Like I said, there is nothing wrong with the setup whatsoever, it looks great (I spent about 4 hours cleaning everything before I installed it).
