Worth the money for gains, none are. For NA all offer little more gains then test pipes but cost $1000 extra or more. IMO these are only worth the money if you have a supercharger.

Ceramic coatings help reduce engine bay heat but are easy to damage, IMO a heat wrap is much more effective but not as nice looking.

I totally agree! I bought the F1 LTH. But I am trying to stay NA for now and later get supercharger. Not sure on Motordyne but I wasn't impressed with their intake when used with the LTH and don't waste your money on the PPE. They are cheap and worthless at least from my research when looking at LTH. After a tune I had nice gains for HP and Torque. One of the best IMO of the add ons for NA. But they are pricey.

In regards to PPE, maybe I was confused with the knock offs. I discussed with my mechanic friends and he agreed to stay away but to each their own

I'm currently running a Motordyne Shockwave catback w/ Stillen Gen 3 intakes. Motordyne long tube headers is next in line. Still debating whether to go resonated or non resonated. Thoughts?

Resonated will mean less drone in car, I converted from non-res hfc to lth with res, the drone went down with them and the car isn't very noisy at lower speeds, compared to the hfc
