There's people buying it to dress up the engine bay who aren't necessarily concerned with actual gains.

No offense to anyone who has done this...But boy is that ever a stupid reason to spend 2k lol

For me, Im hoping for some gains in combi with the AAM TT kit, the bling is added bonus. Fingers crossed i didnt purchase in vain. It really is expensive by any measure

People spend money on hoods, fenders, wheels...all for looks, the only difference here is that i have lift the hood to see it.

your right if you add them up all together but I'd say if someone buys I hood for 2k they are dumb, If you take all my exterior mods yes its above 2K but that's on the outside of the car where I/you can enjoy it every time you look at your car. Unless you plan on install a glass hood or driving around with no hood to spend 2k for looks under the hood you are dumb, IMO

Unless you're sponsored and do car shows.

I think Na guys won't see much power, it will benefits the forced induction crowd. We need 1 slow to make a manifold for us NA guys. his mani prove to make power

It's no different than paying $5K for a bodykit, $4-8K for a set of wheels, $3K for seats, ect. There's quite a few guys on this forum who have spent more in modifications than what they purchased their car for. Another $2K for a unique show piece is reasonable.

JARblue · 03-09-2016, 07:20 PM

You're right. I'd spend $$ on a decent looking intake manifold regardless of the performance gains.

This is better than the stock Z engine cover, but it's not that good looking IMNSHO. Certainly not worth $2K purely for aesthetics. Possibly with some performance gains ... that are still TBD ...

Maybe I'm the only one that likes to pop her hood once in a while and polish a few knobs if you know what I'm saying
