With that little boost, it should be ok, but you may need to check for boost leaks more frequently. There have been many reports of them blowing apart at higher boost levels. The stock intake is definitely more reliable with boost.

They come apart without boost........ No reason to keep it on the car unless you just want a potential issue.

For a SBE with 5-7 psi, none. Save the money and put it into cooling mods, fuel, clutch, tires, etc.

Buy my G1pro. Holds plenty of boost, looks great, and no issues. Can sell your MSD and basically be almost an even trade.

I second the G1 intake. I'm at only 10 lbs but I plan to nearly double that and know I don't need to worry about the intake.
And yes, they look great!

As beautiful as the G1Pro are....that's been a couple of people on here now bought them and put them up for sale very soon after ?

If he has the MSD already and it is low boost...just run it.

And just today another MSD falling apart without boost.

My G1 has been amazing and best boosted intake IMO for under stock hood, but since I don't have a stock hood, and can go much bigger, I'm going that route. Otherwise I would keep it.

Sell the MSD and buy a stock intake or the G1 off Unreal.

Just a taller G1, since I have a 4" hood, can run a taller one. The one I have is perfect fit for stock hood or stock style hood, but I don't mind cutting the cowl and running a huge hood, doing custom piping, etc so doing that. If it doesn't sell, I'll just use it as it is by far the best under hood setup possible, even better than the high dollar billet stuff IMO.

I'll give you a killer deal on it.
