They are nice looking.

Chuck Anders tested one and the results aren't overly impressive, at least to justify the cost.

I wonder if they would shine with a procharger pushing air through it? I wasn't too excited about them either especially the price.

all you jake legs talk about "the numbers don't show that its worth it" 99% of the mods that you do have the same result... however, if you build something using quality parts, the end result will be better because of the sum of those parts. "oh oh oh, the msd loses low end compared to a truck intake" STFU, if we put you in a blind test of two vehicles one with an msd one stock 100% of members in this forum would not know the difference.
