Default Got BBK Intake?

I was looking for a chrome intake and this seems to be the only one i can find.

If you have one, Do you like it? Any problems with it, like rubbing on the hood-liner? Did you get a SOTP difference?

Thanks for the help.

Wish I could remember the forum member that just in the past few days has posted a pic of his new BBK chrome air bridge (I'm guessing that is what you are describing). Looked great to me, but don't know how well it fit.

See this post. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...0&page=1&pp=20
Mine sits higher because of the SS radiator cover and even more so now because of the polished sheet I put under the filter. I'ts a very tight fit now, but without the added stuff, it will fit fine. One thing to consider...The blue tube that connects to the throttle body is BARELY long enough. Consider getting one of those silicone tubes before you install. If you end up not needing it, just send it back.

I have a chrome BBK bridge. It is a really nice piece. I can't tell you about a SOTP difference, as my unit replaced a Halltech Stinger. Over factory, you should notice a slight improvement. Mine does not rub the hoodliner. No problems here. Looks great, that is the reason I replaced the Halltech with the BBK.
