It's the same as the turbonetics or Ball buster but not polished. Plus they want $90 for that intake hose which is included in the $1300 turbonetics. Plus, WTH do they want a core charge for. Maybe clean it up and sell it on ebay and get $500 more.

It is the same as the Turbonetics as Kris said. I run the Turbonetics with the .84 exhaust housing. I really like mine.
