    Something worthwhile.
    Bit harsh!!!! Depends on what you want out of the intake. If you wanted an increase in induction noise, the versatility of being able to clean your own filter, free up some room in the engine bay while also adding some visual appeal to it then its not a waste - if you want to gain a considerable increase in power from it then yes I agree you'd be wasting your money. Having said that I did notice a slight improvement in throttle response when I added mine.

      I agree with poyta, i think it was forcefed that described it the best..."Wank Factor" ha ha but its true there is not real noticeable gain's (well nothing big) but its all about the looks and sound and it will make space for when i finally buy a Provent...Carbonio is more than likely the way i will go, i don't know what it is but i don't like the AFE Intake...

      Thanks for the input guys really appreciate it
