Anyone have the BPP Vortex Power Duct?
My air bridge is damaged so I figured this would be a good time to upgrade to a better one. I have read several threads about the high flow ducts not adding any hp, but they do look nice! I like the way the fiberglass BPP vortex power duct looks, anyone have any experience with it?

I have one and love it! 
You can feel it kick in at higher speed, dose not do much a low speed. 
But it is picking up cold air from the ground and it needs speed to work. 
so if you are thinking about it i find mine good!
But do not drive through high water it dose scoop up the water. 
Will not be nice.
So my 2 cents

I think you're referring to the BPP Vortex - the Scoop and Filter.
I think he's talking about the Power Duct - the high flow Air Bridge replacement. I've got both - I agree with blkvett01 - the Vortex made a difference I could feel - highly recommend it or something similar.
While I believe the high flow power duct and similar products must make a difference ... I couldn't really feel it. Hopefully someone has done a dyno comparison with / without.

If you want the look go ahead...if you're thinking of performance...I'd save your money.
I have one, it fit POORLY and rubbed the underside agains the radiator shroud pretty badly. Took it off and went back to the stock piece.
