Its really not worth it. You dont get all that much more air for the $600 plus its going to cost you to install it. Also they do work with 6ers, there a member here (dont remember the name) that has a Red conver that has one.

American Muscle has the V6 model available. It is really costly, and doesn't provide much gain over a Cold Air Intake as Matt said. You're better off getting the Cold Air from eBay for 40-100 dollars. Or get a K&N if you want the name brand. There's almost no difference, besides the branding. The majority of the filters on the eBay intakes are made by Holley or K&N anyway.

thanks guys, to me it just seems like a CAI would be too close to the headers I think ill just get a CAI and wrap it with header wrap to keep the air cooler, just looking at other options, Isnt there a k&n thats plastic and not metal?

Yeah the K&N is made out of some hard plastic but really any CAI will give ya the same results as a $100 dollar one just sayin cause the K&N are high priced

I think my $40 CAI ebay with K&N filter works just as well as any $100 BBK, for full K&N CAI...

I have one, and must say, it is very unlikely to collect water. Even if it does, with today's technology, the amount you pull in will not be enough to hydrolock the engine. However, on very very humid days, you will notice that your exhaust drips. Or if you have racing mufflers/straight pipes/glass packs, it will look more like someone turned on a spigot (ok, not literally, but it will be more noticeable than with regular mufflers).
