Default What about these intakes?

I'm trying to decide between that or the FPIK from K/N.

They have proven thier selves performance wise, but quality is les than desirable by a long shot. It seems like everyone I've heard from says they crack or split.

OT: Andy, sweet truck. What wheels are those, Centerline Stingrays?

On Topic: I have a clear UPD (in my basement). It worked okay.. better when I "ported" it by smoothing over the inlet to the MAF with some clear epoxy. The intake tube piece cracked on me. Even after I glued it.

I've been meaning to rig up the lid with my own intake tube, but I never seem to get around to it.

Thanks for the comment on my truck, Yep those are Centerline Stingrays...

Looks like I'm going to opt for the K/N unit. I don't want to take the chance on the intake cracking on me.
