i think this is pretty cool...like opening your hood and always seeing it...i think people would be like WHAT IS THAT..?? ( well obviously you'll know ) but its not like you see it all the time..well you could probably lower him down to 850 shipped but the price is pretty reasonable if you think about it...but i dont know if it would lay down 60+ hp..but check it out..its a flashy more than performance upgrade...

My guess is that it won't even fit without independent throttle bodies. If it does fit, you might see some gains but probably not 30hp.

but don't you think it looks pretty awesome....??? i think its pretty cool, its just think about how it would be when you would open your hood and see it...but yup, i think its more flashy than performance...but who knows, i might get one later on after I'm done with everything...

but teh prof....your car is super clean, and that supercharger must be pulling through for you...

doesnt seem to be worth the money

All depends what you want out of your car. Some guys are All-Go-No-Show, others are All-Show-No-Go. One's not superior to the other; it's purely up to what the individual wants. I happen to fall mostly in the former category, which is how I surprise people so often...

My sense is this piece falls more towards the Show category than the Go category.

... first one is REALLY ugly.... it looks like a giant leech attached to the motor.... sorry very little go and no show....

you guys are all right....but i don't know, i just think it looks crazy and a leech attached to the motor is pretty funny cause it does look like one after awhile...but yea it is just a flashy upgrade...but yup...just wanted to see what you guys would think....so all vote that its a no no???
