That is the point it stiffens up the engine mounting location. What did they think was going to happen? Unicorns and rainbows come out of the air vents into the cabin?

Even says on their website
+1

i dont see why a good majority that have bought this regret it, you regret it because its doing its job?

Noob mistake, but at least an understandable one imo.
I've had full solid mounts on my DD for two years. Quit being a pansy.

The only way I would run meth seriously (anything over say about 450) would be a direct port meth system. Alot more evenly distributed over the cylinders. I know alot of people run meth on here and make great power on it, but I just don't think its worth the risk. To reply to what you said though, there are a couple of ways to setup a failsafe for your meth kit. Aquamist is definitely the way to go

ARC carbon fiber hood intake duct

It's an expensive piece. I don't have a problem with that, but now that I'm getting the Varis carbon fiber hood I have a $400 part on the side... I guess I'll sell it for a good price.

I guess what I'm seeing here is that people are buying some very random parts and expecting big things? If you want quality you have to pay for quality. simple...otherwise you get what you pay for...either junk or....something you really don't need like the say "if it ain't broke..don't fix it"

There is some nice bolt-ons and such out there just have to read the threads to find good companies..plus research. Same with the stuff that just "looks good" and doesn't add any Hp or Tq.

ahmen, kinda like the Rexspeed CF VG that serves no purpose other than cosmetic. It's too low to actually affect the majority of the airflow.

Is that proven? Isn't it a mold off of the VG from europe?
