Yep. K-pro or ANY other decent standalone has been produced yet. Rumors say that K-pro (or equivelant) will be out this summer. I'll cross my fingers but I won't hold my breath. Besides, I still owe a lot money on my car so I don't wanna dump money into it quite yet. I just found it funny what some people choose to spend their money on.

From a functional point of view that thing may be worthless, but if that company can mould about 20cents worth of plastic into something that goes for 1200$, thats a pretty good return on assets.

If you can spend $1200 on an intake I would spend the extra $100 for 3 pulls (1 stock, 1 with intake, 1 with intake after tweaks).

yeah no ----. If you're spending that much on an intake, then I'd want to know how much power it's actually going to give.

I guess somewhere in that thread they posted that it netted about 6hp.

But it's inaccurate, considering you don't get the full ram air effect on a dyno that you do on the street.

You might get more of a ram air effect depending on how the blower fan is pointed too. Ram airs probably need a whole wind tunnel to get the full effect.

What a ------- gay looking peice of ----. Total ------- waste of money.

My home made intake was free, and probably works better than that peice of ----.

Its trendy ***** like this that made me stop going to that website.

Guy could make the same piece of ---- intake for next to nothing and then when it didn't make any power at least he wouldn't be out $1200. Retards, it doesn't even say mugen on it.
