Sheet metal intakes on ebay

Hey I found this ad on ebay for a sheet metal intake, the guy says that he can make an intake for any car of choice, seems pretty cheap too.....

Why would you want a sheet metal intake? Are you running a huge turbo or supercharger set up or one hell of a big ass N/A set up?

Those are pretty cool, man!!! I likey!

I dont know, not my cup of tea.

I think they look pretty big and kinda ugly

Just my $.02

 

[BMOREstang]

No not really, I just thought they were prett cool and I would post it up for everybody else. Yeah but a few of them are pretty ugly, the finished looking painted one looks nice though.

They are pretty much straight racing intakes

they look bad ass i wish i had the tools and resources to make one for my 5.0.

eh, not for me I'd rather buy something that had testing and engineering behind it. I woudln't feel some comfortable buying from some guy selling sheetmetal intakes from the back of his pickup truck and kitchen table. No offese to the guy I'm sure he has some talent (personally I couldn't build that) but I think there is a little more involved than just welding some shit together. I'd think the vast majority would be better w/ an off the shelf intake, from ebrock, tricklflow, etc....

I dont think some of you guys get it, sheet metal intakes are pure racing intake, unless your pushing 800 HP + there is no way you would need one

Not to mention the quality of those intakes is far from impressive.

If your not running tons of boost or a big stroker a boxed upper will probably be too much, let alone one of these things.
