Does it really matter if you have a "well made" HOT air intake compared to a "not well made" HOT air intake?

Not sure what your post meant, but it didn't help this thread at all?

I have yet to find anyone who owns a Weapon R SECRET Intake for the S2k.

I'll probably just keep it since I got it for only $115. I can always sell it for alittle more and buy a dragon for another $115 xD.

Let me know if you want to buy my AEM CAI... Hehe, looks good, good condition, add a few hp, and still great sound!!! Never even heard of the Secret? LOL
Xviper - Isn't that why some people buy the ARC intake maybe? Well made and they like the looks. Gains probably as much hp as the Weapon or Secret... I think qaulity (being well made) is important for all parts.

Those gains are quickly eroded away once the engine bay gets hot. Sure, quality always is a good thing and is well worth it in the long run. However, if you spent money on something that really doesn't work that well in our application, then, how is buying quality making any difference? That's my point. But then, if you are paying that money for something that looks good and sounds good to you, with no real concern for how well it functions, then I guess that's your point. Both are valid.
