Disappointing Emissions Adapter for Performance Cars

Through trial and error, I found that this adapter fails to increase horsepower as advertised. It's difficult to install and lacks proper fitment, causing leaks in the emission system.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Does not increase horsepower, difficult to install, prone to leaks.

Cheap but effective in the short term

This thing is plastic, not durable plastic, and will break with use. If you are looking for something strong and durable, visit turbohoses.com. If you're looking for something to get you out of a short-term addiction, this might help, but it won't last long, and I wouldn't call it super strong.

Pros
  • Universal
Cons
  • Thin

Plastic, not great

I needed a clutch that could take a beating and I just didn't think it would do it so I sent it back. Yes it's a nice shiny chrome but this chrome is on pretty low quality plastic and I didn't think it would last long. Also, it comes with a rather odd fastening mechanism that I didn't take the time to figure out before repackaging and sending it back.

Pros
  • Allows for a custom air intake
Cons
  • Price piggy bank
