I have one, it came with my elbow. I only paid 70 bucks for the elbow and the air foil together. I didn't notice a damn thing. I just wanted to clean up the engine bay with the elbow.

All in all it all helps but its not something you will ever notice. You wont notice a cold air kit or exhaust either. Only big mods you can feel...N2o, cams, heads, turbos,blowers,etc. all the other stuff colectively adds up. If you can find one used Id say go for it! It cant hurt the way the stocker is!!!!!!! The price for a new one is kinda steep fro what you get. But the mod is worth it if your not buying a new TB ever.
