I don't care too much if it is a po-boy Gen II intake, I just want a little
bit better performance intake. I am not looking for race, I just need more
high end power for pulling my trailer. I would like to do the intake, TB,
and Exhaust. I bought it on ebay because I work alot and really don't have
the time to make up something homemade from home depot. As long as I get
some performance out of it I will be happy. I am not too concerned if the
guy is lieing that it will get 25+ horsepower. Thanks for your help.
Mike

> I bought one from this guy, are they junk?
Might not be junk -- lotsa folks on the list are VERY happy with their
po-boy intakes. Just don't expect a 25 HP bump out of it. Hell, I don't
think I got NEAR that out a K&N GenII. More like 10-13.
The guy is scamming, though, because he's making exaggerated claims AND
because of what he's charging. Ask the folks on the list how much $$ they
spent on their po-boys, but I'll bet that *aside* from the filter, they
didn't spend more'n $20 for ABS pipe and a coupla fittings, hose clamps, and
mebbe some special glue.
I'm not going to put words in Bernd's mouth, but I'm pretty sure he's not
down on the concept of po-boy intakes (which is basically what you
bought) -- he's probably just down on some unethical fart-knocker making
money off of peoples' inexperience, selling something that is substantially
less than what he claims it is.
