Looks shiploads better than the stock view too I can tell you.I bought one for my boy for his VY SS ute for Xmas and he loves it.I'm not sure why but a lot seem to poo poo SSI stuff, all my SSI stuff is absolutely tops. No problems at all and does what it's supposed to do. So I find it hard to understand.I buy off eBay and save heaps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems at all and does what it's supposed to do. So I find it hard to understand.I've noticed this too... seen it been called SS Reductions... but from my personal experience it worked for me... back to back on the same dyno against a standard car... as stated above...take a look at the pic I posted and u can see I cut the top section of the intake, which lets heaps more air in! Nice one... I think I now have a bit of a job to do this afternoon!! Cheers Pete.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like a good looking unit but just didn't work in my applications. I also think that 2 cai is better than one. After all with the SS unit you still only have one inlet hole that the air can squeeze through.My .02cRob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
