Wow, surprised it hasn't already sold. They sell for more expensive really fast.

$100 used is about normal.
If you ever owned one theres not much to it.

OK, well let me rephrase. I've seen them sell faster for more on CR.net. :D

part of me wants to buy it but then again i think its a waste since in time ill be putting a turbo on once i get the money.

If planning for turbo, I'd save the money. But of course, that's just me. :)

thats what i am thinking besides i still need to get new pads for my brakes so the money would be better spent elsewhere for me.

See? You've already talked yourself out of the purchase. :D

Although FM claims something like a 5hp gain from these, given the 'optimistic' nature of their dyno numbers I would estimate it closer to .05 :lol:
I wouldnt waste my money on one. The same concept can be achieved with a piece of hose and a hole saw.

Ok, so buy some hose and put some CF wrap on it. Problem solved.
