Is this intake worth a darn?

Except for dress up , I do not think that there is much use to most intake , unless your moding to the point of compition level , HP over some thing like 600-700+ , the head will only pass so much air , when you start getting near the high you will need a hole lot more than just an air horn , everything from the ft. of the truck to the tail pipe to realy make a dif. , then the dif. is not the % of effcency but , rasing the % of getting prize money , huge $$$.
Bigger cooler , cooler hoses , airhorn , intake man , port & polish heads , exhaust man. , turbo , exhaust system , all the part half to be flow matched to find the choke points , to make each piece about equal to the next in the system .
This should give the idea if you want a little more HPs , that there are a lot of places to put your $$$ 1st ,

Made the mistake of not looking at your link 1st , I was thinking of airhorn , the filter boxes its about the same , I think the best for the dollar is the drop in new filters from Amsoil Ea series , The boxes haven't proven to make that much dif. but changing filters are helping .
But again they sure look nice , so make youself happy .

CBrahs,



Better than stock yes, worth the cost not for me. The deal with intakes is the enclosure and the filter size. That filter is pretty small as it fit the small areas of the stock intake. Get a look at some of the system that have the HUGE filters and a clod air dam to keep hot engine air out, much better for lowering EGT's and flow rates etc.
