I always love a good deal and Santa put me down for one too

 

I had one on my '01. Very, very nice piece. Not only did it look good, but it felt good.

 

Where did you get it from

suppose I'll be the one to break it to you...

intake horn on a vp44 truck isn't going to do a damn thing for you performance wise.

any gains will be negligible at best.

If you are all about looks, how about some powder coat or paint?

Now if you had a common rail truck: get an intake horn, or swap a second gen 24v horn on there and dump the 3rd gen intake horn.

but since you are a 2nd gen 24v: your stock intake horn already flows almost double the CFM a common rail intake horn flows, and the vp44 will max out on power before you are at a high enough power level to benefit from increased air flow from the intake horn/grid delete...


Here is under my hood with a STOCK intake horn and some powder coat.



I get more than enough airflow from the compounds


justify spending that money however you want, but if it was my truck: I'd put that money towards injectors. "cold air intake" doesn't do squat either. another "bling" mod. only reason my truck doesn't have the stock air tube on there is because the stock one won't fit a S475.


No offense to those that have those "mods" but be honest... those mods didn't make a damn bit of difference! only thing they might do is make the turbo sound louder, or your intake look "prettier"

All your "butt-dyno's" felt was a placebo effect.

 

Wow! There is nothing wrong with making an engine more efficient. Any improvement, however slight, is still an improvement, blingy or not. Different goals for different people.

 

I'm still gonna get one just to make my engine compartment look a little better

 

Run with it brother!

 

my point was spending $200+ on a maybe 1-5hp gain isn't worth it if you are doing it for the power...

money would be better spend towards injectors which would give a significant HP gain
