I hate to say it, but the vortex just looks like a piece of ****.

Are they really that bad? I've heard a few good things, but more bad things about these systems. That is the main reason why I have been waiting for the Vararam system. It is just taking forever to get it to market.

Are you still using it?

I'm still using it, well I was still using....look for my thread as to why I can't use it now. Basically the plastic they use is so thin and crappy that it warps from the heat of the engine bay. I used a heat gun to reshape mine a couple of times already but it's pretty much toast now. I'm going to have my brother make me a new case for it out of sheet metal until the Vararam comes out.
