97-00 Corvette C5 VR-B2 Ram-air Intake w/ Powerduct

Awesome

Probably works ok but the fit and finish was among the poorest I have ever seen. Looking forward to the snow melting so I can go drive my corvette and see if there is a significant improvement.UPDATE: I have a few hundred miles on it now and really don't notice a difference. By their advertisement of 30-40 HP increase, it should have made a big improvement. I haven't noticed it. No way it was worth the $350 for the entire system. With the poor fit and finish, it doesn't even look good in the engine bay.Might make a difference if you have a head/cam package to use the additional air, as well as a higher flowing exhaust to vacate the extra air. As a stand alone bolt on though, no improvement.

We had to cut into the radiator shroud to get it to sit correctly. Even then it was an extremely tight fit. If you do not have a reliable way of lifting the front of your car the install will take quite a bit of time and busted up knuckles.That being said there was a very noticeable power gain in the car after I let the computer relearn the extra air it was getting. And if you get close enough to the intake it makes a very cool intake sucking noise (even over my straightpipes). With an axle-back exhaust and this intake I really did gain the 40hp that is advertised with this system.All in all I would do it again if I had to, really made my car breathe right.
