It's not worth much. I'd only do it as an apperance mod really. Especially with the possibility of cracking your lid when the engine torques.

However, every little bit helps, and thats why people do mods like this.

If you feel like you must do it go to home depot..a fernco is less then 5 bucks..you will find it in the plumbing dept..you will have to do some trimming to the fernco to make it work....as it was stated above it is cosmetic no measurable HP to be gained from it..

No horses with that mod. Just wait till your stock one goes bad then change over.

Unless you just feel the need to drop $50 on one for appearance reasons, I'd leave the stocker in place. If it's performance you're after, save the $$ and buy something else.

It's been known to crack lids and be hard as hell to deal with. Not worth it. I had one on my car, now i'm back to the stocker.

I started to do it the one day, but figured that it wasn't worth it. I'm using the stocker again.
