I saw one on ebay for cheap a while ago and thought about buying it. I asked about it on here and was persuaded otherwise. The one thing that would concern me would be the snout being epoxied back on to the intake. It's one more thing to not have to worry about going wrong.

+1 on that

the HP gain would be minimal at best and the risk of the thing coming apart would keep me up at night

I agree also. Better for NA applications.
