i can't imagine brenspeed would steer you wrong, but personally i'd still only buy new - i could be paranoid, though

+1

If it was a bigger discount, I could make the argument to buy the used one (especially considering it's from Brenspeed), but for only $25, get the new one.

If Brenspeed will warrant it, the used oneshould beas good as new. If it's worth $25 for piece of mind, go new.

Between those 2, buy new. Just so you know $545 for a used intake and combo is a very bad price. I've seen a SCT & C&L racer selling for $400.
