Default What about these intakes?

What do you all think about this particular intake? Anyone know anything about this company??

I'm trying to decide between that or the FPIK from K/N.

They have proven thier selves performance wise, but quality is les than desirable by a long shot. It seems like everyone I've heard from says they crack or split.

the upd performs...and the flat black one is less prone to crack... the clear and other foo foo colors will crack for sure.

OT: Andy, sweet truck. What wheels are those, Centerline Stingrays?

On Topic: I have a clear UPD (in my basement). It worked okay.. better when I "ported" it by smoothing over the inlet to the MAF with some clear epoxy. The intake tube piece cracked on me. Even after I glued it.

I've been meaning to rig up the lid with my own intake tube, but I never seem to get around to it.

Thanks for the comment on my truck, Yep those are Centerline Stingrays...

Looks like I'm going to opt for the K/N unit. I don't want to take the chance on the intake cracking on me.
