I assume you mean air bridge. They can run as much as $300 for the nice ones, probably not worth it, but cool looking anyways if money isnt an issue. Performance-wise doesnt seem worth it .. but not everything is about performance with some folks

I am contemplating doing the zip-tie mod and spending money on the smooth flow air bridge and throttle body air duct for the heck of it. Then again I am contemplating many mods and money is somewhat an issue. Its hard to prioritize them sometimes. Its all good though
