Default BBK or C&L plenum

I cant decide wether to get a BBK intake plenum or C&L. The C&L cost $10 on rpmoutlet.com. Which one is better?
I already have a bbk 70mm tb on my car.

$10? Why so cheap. I've heard the C&L is better, but there might be something wrong with it for that cheap.

$10 has to be a typo.

I would go with BBK......You have everything else BBK......I notice that you have Flowmaster 40 series as well. How's those working for ya....I couldn't tell much difference than stock mufflers.....I mean with the sound and all.....I had to speed over $500 for a steeda exhaust system and the sound was unbelievable...

75MM BBK TB and C&L Plenum = Great Combo
75MM Accufab TB and Plenum = Even Greater Combo

C&L is a really good plenum.

I wouldn't bother upgrading his T/B further. The T/B only adds like 2-3 RWHP at the most, and that is going from a 65mm (stock) to a 75mm. I only bothered to upgrade at all because of the future plans and just to "have it done"

I have heard that the C&L Plen + BBK throttle body is a good combo, so when I get mine I will probably end up going with that. But I wish the BBK Plenum was good (or maybe it is, I don't know) because I really like the way that one looks more than the C&L. Personally I like the way the stock one looks more than the C&L, the C&L is pretty plain.... But oh well....
