I firmly believe you get what you pay for. I will switch the intake at some point and post the results. The car is not close to being ready. So it may be a while.
But there is also the very true point that you pay for a name and from what i've been able to find. Thats been the only real complaint. People piss and moan about 1. being an off brand and 2. not being made in america.
Both have the same problem of occasionally spitting out bad intakes that need to be returned.
