Intake waste of money?

You won't get a better performance from it, just less noise. If that's what you're looking for like me, I'm sure you can sell your Revo easily since it's one of the best. :smiley:

The only thing that puts me off the VWR is people (inc a review on Awesome's site) mentioning it breaks off a plastic coolant elbow if you're not careful, and it also rubs on other engine parts. It also lacks a flexible coupling to stop the engine movement from jerking it around and banging on things. A straight bit of silicon has practically zero give in it, hence why OEMs always used kinked coolant hoses or flex couplings.
If / when I get one (based on Shoduchi's upcoming review :smiley: ) I will be getting something like this to attach between the grille snorkel and the airbox. Or maybe use the existing OEM flexible coupling if it's possible.

Changed my mind, The additional cost will pay for 2 x Michelin PS4's. I was being silly :doh:

I'd rank tyres slightly ahead of an intake on the priority front :smiley: Good choice of rubber too :happy2:
