The intake manifold on an EFI 5.0 is quite dorky looking. Flow and performance are dictated purely by how bitchin the manifold looks

The stock intake mani is quite garbage and notoriously restrictive. With a nice intake mani you can gain 15-20 whp easily, without porting.

I'd pick these up if I was 5 lug.

They're reps. You could buy a legit set of oem bbs style 5's for that price.

I would never buy wheels like that. Fake and gay...

(Run and hide)

I had a set of those. They were extremely heavy and not JWL rated. I traded them because they were stupid and also because I was living in constant fear of sudden catastrophic wheel failures during hard cornering.

Great for a stancebro, awful for a driving enthusiaat

I know nothing about wheels. Overlooked the 'rep' part.

My comment was just self-loathing about the awfulness of the wheels I had. There are plenty of replica wheels I would be fine with even autocrossing on (even forged brand name wheels should be inspected for cracks before any motorsport event IMO) but not those pieces of crap
