yer, thats my point. Essentially with the more expensive intakes you are paying for a better filter, there cant be much difference in pipes which connect them.
The pipe on that cheap one does look a bit cheap being polished but nothing a lick of heat proof matt black paint cant sort out.
I might go for it and see.
Im sure some very nice person may give me the dimentions for their heat shiels so i can make one?
