Looking to buy a Air intake AFE or Halltech

Halltech is going to be releasing a composite/ NON-Carbon Fiber intake that is around $600. Same design, cheaper materials... for those who are frugal and don't need the Carbon Fiber look... (like me...)

If you really think you are going to notice a difference between the two aside from the carbon fiber material on the Halltech, you are being misled. Haltech offers performance and appearance and AFE offers performance. Whether the price difference is worth the appearance difference is up to you.
I run the AFE and Texas Speed headers. There was a time when I only bought the most expensive mods (my C5Z had a Halltech intake and ARH headers) but I realized the extra 2 hp wasn't worth double the price.
Call me cheap if you want but the results are there and they put the same engine in the C7 in the 1500 truck....or is it the truck engine in the Vette? Who knows. ;-) These aren't Ferraris. Before you know it your C7 will be worth 25K and it doesn't matter if it has a Halltech or an AFE, the buyer will wish it had a stock intake.

Sean whenever you come to a decision let me know, the halltech cf one is really something else but i dont know if its really worth the extra few 100 since most of the modded c7s ive seen/read about on here have the afe
