Bob, I don't know that much about them. Where might I see a picture of one to see how it compares? This one was ribbed aluminum, (I believe)and looked like it would polish up pretty nicely.
It was designed to bolt directly to the exhaust, just like the stock intake.
I can get you in touch with the guy if you want.
Or better yet, come up one of these Sunday mornings, and I'll hook you up with him directly.
I don't think he knows what it's worth, he just threw out that number to see what he might catch.
Let me know
