I asked about one on here, and everybody told me its really just a looks mod. Doesn't give much performance if any. So for $60 or more, depending on where ya look, i decided against it, for now.

They have legit knockoffs on ebay. I bought one. It was around $30 IIRC. It is an appearance mod, but worth it to me

I agree with you.

I however bought the SLP Bellow but agree with searching for one on eBay if you desire it.

I got a slp to replace the ugly factory setup bit scores mine on eBay for $30 shipped. Watch for auctions sams bid in the last 30 seconds and sometimes you get lucky. Saved over $50 on my Volant intake like that as well.

My ss had one on the car when I bought it. Idk if it gains anything or not. I dont think its worth buying IMO. If you want something like that just make something like alot of people do out of material at home depot or something.

i bought a fernco and the piece of **** wouldn't stay on, the rubber is so hard and wont flex which causes it to come off when the engine flexs from revving up or just giving it throttle

I have an SLP on mine, but I got it for almost nothing...it was too long, had to trim it as it was making the lid not seal properly in the back...it looks nice as long as you keep on top of cleaning the dust off of it...dust likes to stick to silicone couplers. I really don't think there was any power gain at all, but it certainly didn't hurt anything.
