Exclamation NEW (i think) SUPER INTAKE FOR LS1

"The most powerful intake ever designed for the F-BODY. This isn't just a lid, or a cover. This is a complete replacement."

- what do you guys think about this?

It's been around a while. Had some quality issues like the clips not staying on as well as someone did a heads up comparo to an aftermarket lid and made the same or less power.

I've always wanted to try this lid. When it first came out it was almost $500. Now it's down to $300 and I have no idea who is buying it because I have NEVER seen one.

that intake was my first mod.

it sucked...

took me 3 months to get it b/c of low production
bellows ripped after 300 miles
lid discolored and spots turned white
and lost a clip

..i called about replacement parts and never heard back, i went with the TSP lid and havent looked back

It's been out a while. I was always waiting for someone to post up back to back dyno's or track results to see if it was actually worth it.....

I bought one of these used in the classifieds about 1.5 yrs ago. My 98 T/A ran 109 mph in the 1/4 with just this lid and a Hooker catback, so it has worked great for me. No problems with mine at all.

I too have one still in the box brand new, never used! I wanted to use it as well but it won't fit with the TNT power ring and I'm not getting rid of that. If anyone is interested in it, I'll sell it cheap!

I saw that thing a long time ago. If it was that great, I am sure everyone would have one. It is probably about as good as any other lid. And probably no better than FTRA.
