Its only a few ponies but if you get a manifold to match it will be worth something... I would get it. The price is right so I wouldnt let it pass.

Its something to have for that price. One of those thing that you dont need with a stock motor, but it comes in handy when youre upgrading your intakes/heads and cam, etc.

i would get it for $50

but to tell you the truth i dont think it'll help much. just for fun i swapped my 70mm for my stocker on the dyno and gained hp on the dyno but lost torque so i put the bigger one back on. but either way it wouldnt have been noticable at all on te road
