Default Power Duct and Coupler

I have a D-Blackwing. Is a power duct and coupler worth the $250? Or, is just the duct alone at $60 worth the money?

$250 is a rip. Buy the $169 part from LAPD. Here is what it looks like.

The general opinion on the Forum has been that an aftermarket airbridge and coupler are not worth any hp except maybe on a stroker motor. My head and cam car is using the stock airbridge. I do have a red coupler that I put on just for the color. :cheers:
