money to dress up the engine? LG's CF fuel rail covers are supposed to be a perfect match!

Halltech Superbee CF102
Yesterday I receivedthe CF102 and matching Beehive from the folks at Halltech. Installed it this a.m. Took me about 45 minutes--very easy. Fit and finish are immaculate! Took it out for about 30 miles to re-set the fuel trims after disconnecting the battery during install. Very responsive. Probably my imagination, but the growl of the Borla ATAK exhaust seems deeper to me when WOT. I'm particularly impressed by the smooth idle. I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase!

That's the great thing about the society we live in. The populace sets the value of everything from stocks to property to performance parts. If the part wasn't worth the price than it wouldnt have value. Obviously it does. There is no other intake on the market that i know of that offers an unobstructed 100+mm path straight to the TB bypassing the restrictive 85mm MAF. If you can't afford it, there's no need to bash those that can. I'm strongly considering replacing my Vararam with one to go with a 102mm TB and Fast 102. Do those meet with your approval?

i wasnt bashing anyone. but now you've bashed me so here goes. . . "cannot" and "will not" afford are two very different things. spending $1300 for a piece of plastic that does not do a whole lot more than the stock intake is just foolish (in my opinion, of course). but if you feel it is a worthy investment then by all means dish out. your little example of how the populace sets the value is primitive and does not account for the majority of brainless people who follow and dont lead. your way of thinking must also allow for the support of insanely high gas prices too!

I have the Vararam. I think it's a good intake, but the quality is no where near as good as the Halltech. It also has the tendency to snorkel up water. It did it in my Vette luckily it was at low RPM and the motor was not damaged. It also funnels down to the 85mm MAF. For all out N/A I think the Halltech with a 102mm TB and FAST 102 and king. The Halltech is also better than OEM build quality. It's a very nice piece.

by comparison, this SLP hood with the functional air scoop would put more cool air into the engine compartment and its less than the price of the air intake at $1095.

Aside from that, the premise of my original post was a little rough being as I missed a large factor in your assertion and for that I apologize.
