I bought mine off an NZ supplier but they look the same. I had one crack within two weeks And the other one filled up with water when driving into the rain. In the past a few dismantlers / eBay finds have found Raybrig or other known brands that I would have paid more had I known what was coming. I suppose what I'm saying is buy the best you can, not the cheapest.

Variable Intake length Throttle bodies.
Probably wont fit with the master cylinder stopping anyone from running trumpets bigger than 40mm though...

For much less money, much more power and reliability turbo is the way and I don't even like turbos...

I wouldnt go as far as reliability...
Certainly peak power and money to power ratio yes. Bet the extra heat, weight, piping, and poor sound puts me off.
