And emotional comes in the two forms positive AND negative. The mind-o-meter can often calibrate itself to convincing oneself one has made a worthwhile investment. I read the implication in there that robit28's was fake due to his issues...Im not sure he'll relate to that. My own experience wasnt with the T, it was with my VX SS. Mine, like many of these kits, ended up in the trash. They were nastily put together, and ineffective. If they'd tested mine on an SS it surely was purely for FIT and not much else. It was an effective, measurable restriction on intake. The concept is great, but poorly executed. Their throttle bodies on the LS1 are also questionable in quality , it isnt an isolated thing.From what I've heard their product quality has improved, but I havent seen it translated yet into measurable results above much cheaper investments.I wished wished wished I hadnt wasted my money on mine, fact is if forums such as this were as popular four years ago I couldve done a little research and bought something else more effective for 1/10 of the cost.Im not closed minded, but I'd be hesitant to shop SS Inductions products myself after having my wallet reamed.My opinions and experience only. Just another to add to the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I rang them they said they knew nothing about any problems with them. (That may have been true back then)Anyway off it came and now sits in my shed gathering dust, It is a very expensive dust collector.←Ditto Dean, waste of $400 IMO POS.... but that said it did it's job for a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newl Guests Posted 27/10/06 08:28 AM Share Posted 27/10/06 08:28 AM You'd probably be better off (money wise) fitting an F6 intake (or XR8 intake) and snorkel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
