imo they are a great mod to do with other mods (cams, udp, headers) but on their own the gains aren't dramatic. They remove a restriction and free up flow but many have stated they "feel" no real gains. They'll be replaced if you ever go twinscrew blower later on..

If I go cams this year, they are on my list to do eventhough the'll eventually have to be sold later on.

I'm in the process of changing mine out as we speak. Just finished all the suspension work I was doing, and now moving onto UDP's and the delete plates. I also have 4.10's in my car, so any loss of low end torque should hardly be felt.

Quite a few have stated that they didn't think it was worth it and probably fewer were happy with it. If you have other mods that negate the low end torque loss then it's probably a win.

Had mine switched out along with the UDP install and 4:10 gears in January but have not been able to test them out yet with it being winter and the car parked. Will have to wait a month for the fun to begin!

lol trust me, you're gonna notice those gears more then you will the other two- but they're a nice touch when all combined from what I hear.

The whole "low end torque loss" thing seems kinda controversial. I've seen these advertised where it specifically stated there is no low end torque loss with them.
