      Jesus Christ, you'd think that the guy would spend that much on a 'pretty' intake, that he'd at least pressure-wash the engine afterward, as the rest of the engine bay looks like ass.

      For all intents and purposes....having actually installed on of those intake manifolds....just stick with a Performer RPM II. I don't know if it reverses or not....but the BBK intake isn't that great of a piece; fuel rails have leaks, it's almost impossible to get to the EGR valve....and with the way the intake is set up, the IAC whistles like a son of a bitch when it's idling.

      AND it takes up a shitload of space.

        Yeah, I haven't heard too many great things about that intake either.

            on bbk's website it says it has a built in egr mount, so im assuming that means the same thing. i havent heard great things about it either, but ive barely seen anyone even try this intake. it looks like it would be effective. ive just heard its a pain in the ass to work on
