so if i can get one for 185 plus a new gasket for 15-20, and i install it myself, it would be an ok deal. some cai's run for like 150, exhaust is anywhere from like 400 and up, udp's are about 200. wouldnt you say its an ok deal?

as long as you don't damage the gasket you can reuse it. my brother e-mailed me after he installed my boxed upper from SSM and he reused the gasket. 5-7 rwhp sound about right. my brother said my car feels a lot quicker. and he also said the sound is insane.

If you are going to do it..do it right. Just the upper wont really do anything for you. Get the upper, lower, cam and heads and THEN swap them and see the big gains. Those are like a package, without one of those you dont benefit as much.
