The $460 they are asking is too much. The H.P. figure they give you is with the combined intake, pully's and straight pipe, so the benefit of the intake alone is unanswered!

That is it exactly! Backpressure is your enemy! Engines do not need backpressure to make low end power. The problem is that the exhaust system flows too much for that rpm which translates to exhaust gas velocity being too slow. You want as little backpressure as possible but you still need velocity. Show me a race car with back pressure and I'll show you a loser! If backpressure doesn't make power up high, how does it make power down low? It doesn't.

...i dunno about "increasing exhaust backpressure", but raising static pressure it sure will (meaning a closer to zero net pressure difference). bernoulli's effect: live it.
oh and btw, this kind of "what brand of crap hardware should i choose to buy so i can list it as a mod and feel fast although its all in my head" stuff belongs in the half rice, half rediculous Aftermarket section. this is for more serious and practical technical discussion.
i don't mean to be so crass personally to you, but i think this "what brand of exactly the same thing that doesn't work very well should i buy" stuff is just tiresome and is needlessly filling up space here.

Don't buy one....stick with the stock air box (which was designed for the car with a purpose) and at the most maybe a drop in filter like the K&N or Green filter. Aftermarket intakes have shown to do very little with the 8 outside of making it scream.
