Is it worth getting one of these for a X14XE? i want one, but i'm in two minds if i should get one or spend the money on other bits (fitting my buckets, ICE, bumpers etc). Would if offer any sort of speed increase or would i only see any change after a remap?

Will notice a difference but will gain even more from a remap

Tbh, looking at one, i dont see how they will give that much a gain, they look pretty much identical to the standard inlet? Same tb position etc, same plastic trunk pipe. Unless the insides flow a lot better.

I thought this. But apparently they're the best aftermarket performance inlets out there.

Seems a bit pointless improving engine power, the just reducing the power/weight with a big Ice install?
