I find it funny when people complain about 379 for an intake that is as good as this one and the quality is this high....yet so many go out and spend 500-700+ on a catback that is literally going to do nothing for performance...but changes sound...this intake will add more performance than a catback will any day...be it stock car with a tune or full bolt on or turbo swapped...it also adds a great sound, good throttle response and a nice look to the engine bay. I can't understand why it's so much for people to beleive this is worth the price to pay. That really isn't that much for an intake of this quality...when you look at many other platforms cost of modding is much higher. Alot of cars cheap intakes cost close to this. The Cobb is 325...so it's like 50 bucks difference....even the open element intakes with no box are well over 200 bucks now. I think this is a great intake and the best one easily if you don't want to go with the 2jr. I'm going to combine this with the big mouth....always have wanted to do it and recently said screw it I'm doing if and I'm doing it now...recently got tuned on e30 by stratified and I'm loving that...just trying to add a little more...I want the response the sound the looks and the little bit of performance there is to gain. I beleive intake temps will definagely stay lower on average with this setup and fall quicker even when it does rise (I already have the free intake hole-in-the-shroud mod and it helps but I think this will be a step ahead of that in quick cooling and keeping lower temps).
I just had to say something having read through these posts again and all the people griping over a 400 dollar intake...it's easily worth that and if you don't wanna pay 400 for an intake that's your right but that doesn't mean it isn't worth the asking price. I think the price of catbacks is far more ludicrous than this will ever be all things considered but you see people snatching them up all the time without a thought. Just my .02
