Most people on the forum dont like metal intakes...there heat sinks. I was thinking about getting one of these as they come with the fuel rails. I along with others are waiting for the weiand street warrior intake. I will wait to see what the feedback is before I buy one.

The originals had some sealing issues. I spent the last 8 years in the fbody forums, and the typhoon has a decent name and credentials... now. Comparable to the LS6 intake. Check out the ls1tech website for dyno tests and the like.
