Default Cheap & Good Looking Intake is Junk I Assume....

Came across this while cruising for stuff for my 'Burb on a truck board. I am assuming that these are no good or they'd be selling like hot cakes. Anybody ever see a dyno results or anything for one?

I'm not in the market for one and I don't just randomly buy untested S off ebay etc, but I do have to say that it is pretty mean looking.

***Edit after 27 Seconds*** Slap me twice and call me Sally, they aren't cheap I guess. Website has 'em at $560. My curiosity just perked up a bit.

back to the OPs original question "are they junk"

Well, the more modern ones are a bit better designed but do not out perform the factory intakes in the usable rpm ranges.

I've not seen much in the way of "favorable" testing and these intakes lose so big torq down low in return for small gains in HP and trq up higher due to the short runners and tunnel ram design which is only optimized above 7k or so.

If you are going to really zing the motor, at the drag strip, it could work.

For a street car, likely not so well as there is much less broad shouldered torq under the curve.
