Some guys on here take their cars to car shows... the stock intake isn't much to look at... very low(if any) bling!

Now this on the other hand...?

When you start making the payments you can tell me what may go on and what can't. Until then the Z51 sticker stays!

I replaced the Hurricane on my 05 with one of these last summer.....can't really tell any difference in performance but to be honest I could tell much difference when I went from stock to the Hurricane. Not real sure you could tell 10-15 hp in normal driving anyway. I jsut like the way it looked....
