I agree with Axeman, if the restriction in the air getting to your engine is not in your inlet or filter, you are not going to see any real gain in power. I believe that the polished inlet pipes are more of a dress up piece than a performance piece. I have the BBK fenderwell kit on my car and I replaced my old March ram air with it. I don't think that I would say that it is a piece of crap. The only thing that I had to do was trim the pipe to get it to fit the way that I wanted it to. Overall I am happy with the way it looks and this is all that I expected from it. Here is a picture of it installed in my car.

------------------
91 Coupe with fresh rebuild. Running Stage 2 Avenger heads (51cc chambers), Stage 2 cam (.549, .566)1.7 Crane Gold Race rockers, Port matched GT-40 upper & lower, 75mm MAF, 65 mm TB, MSD 6AL, Long Tubes through off road and Dynomax muffs. Stock T-5 and 3.73 gears. Big Blue Bottle on it's way!!!
Best time so far = 60'=2.021, 1/8=8.366 at 86.37 mph and the 1/4 was 12.926 at 108.44 mph.
