Then you don't have to worry about the airflow characteristics of your plenum :lol: you just have to worry about the expense and difficulty of setting up your ITB's properly :lol: would be something different from the norm though 8-)

Yeah, there's no science gone into the design of that. The price only reflects that it's been CNC machined so they'd be hard pushed to sell any of those to anyone that doesn't have more money than sense.

Probably be alright for forced induction, but then still defintely not worth that price :?
