Well, what's more important- the cost or the power it makes? Guys here spend $1500 on a catback that gives them 10 whp. If this turns out to make 20 whp, is it then not a better value?

But this is prettier, so I think that cancels out and we're back to the power question. I kinda doubt there's going to be a lot of NA gains, but I have a feeling it will really shine with boost.

obviously. no intake manifold really helps out N/A that much. boosted cars always benefit more with manifolds.
