If you're going to get one, at least get one of them from the nitrous sponsors that are part of their plate system. Aside from that, its a gimmick.

I bought one for my Durango, and I feel its kind of like buying exhaust for sound purposes, it makes a nice whistle when you hit the gas. Its not an annoying whistle though, you should be able to hear your intake whistle at idle already, it just enhances the sound by spinning the air. Its up to you, I like noise and I may get one for my ls1.

Send me some money for shipping and you can have mine. It is an aluminum plate with blades on the inside. I took it off and dont notice any difference.

On a newer 6.0L vette, GMHTP put a spacer and a Vararam intake on the car, the spacer gained 0.2 hp and I think lost a lil tq on the peak. Not that it makes a diff but if you put one on, your smooth bellow will no longer fit, you will be going back to a stock elbow and like stated before a N2o plate will net far better gains.
