Got plenty of power & good fuel economy: HO throttle body, HO manifold, iridium spark plugs, k&n filter, head redone(for performance),gear ratios and exhaust will be getting done soon to a 3" opening mandrel bent.

Alright kids!!!! I think we are getting a little off topic here hey? Let's agree some want the thing to look nice too, and some may not care so much. Oh - I do want it to look nice also if possible, but would love better efficiency so will get one anyway I suppose.

Yes, but remember that's "target", although they got close with the Bruiser 200 based on the figures he quoted me. They are also redesigning the airflow within the airbox to create appropriate pressures and flow rates, it's not simply because of a bit of food grade plastic on the side of the car.

I suppose it depends on your definition of good, it is after all a piece of black plastic. It will certainly look like a snorkel, they're pretty hard to hide  but they are making sure they conform to the contour and styling of each model car they do.
