Rtunes Racing air intake

Anybody used Rtunes Racing twin air intake on the auction site? It's only $69, but it should open up the intake a little bit I would think.

Yeah, they'd def be better than the stock intake. Here's the one I have on my car. It was on it when I purchased it.

It looks the same, there was a chrome one also. Did you notice a difference in sound? I know 15 HP is very optimistic.

It was on the car when I purchased it so I have not heard how it would have sounded with the stock air intake and that also keeps me from giving a true comparison. I will say that my 98 runs very strong (to me anyway) but other than the Flowmaster catbacks that are on it, this air intake appears to be the only other addon to the car. As for sound, I love the aggressive sound the Flowmasters give and the motor sounds great on WOT with this intake. I really need to get down to Thunder Valley (just south of OKC) and give mine a few runs thru the ¼ to see what kind of ETs I get. My personal guess-timate would be very high 12s/very low 13s.
