Also depends on what IM your talking about. The RX or the MACE one. Going by the dyno on the Mace one, yes it would be a mod you feel but its probably not going to be the end all be all mod you seem to be expecting. Each mod does help though.

Case in point, this past weekend I went to the local 1/4 strip with my buddy who also has a v6. He has an airaid, an exhaust and the 20" RS wheels and I have a vararam, exhaust, a tune and the insulator. I feel like my car has power but after awhile I get used to it. Well we swapped cars for a few runs and oh wow! I could feel the lack of kick on his as well as how heavy the rs wheels were. His took forever to get going and took longer to stop as well. When he got back from running mine, he was thoroughly impressed. He kept raving on how mine got going super fast and it just planted him in his seat. The other thing I noticed a lot was the insulator. I never felt like the insulator would make as much difference as everyone raved but after comparing my friends and my manifold, it was obvious the insulator was making a huge impact!

What I'm saying is every mod by itself probably won't make a HUGE difference but together they make a pretty quick six. Stock I ran a 15.1 in 70 degree weather. After all my current mods, I run 14.3 in 104 degree weather. I have the slips to prove it as well.

Don't get discouraged because one mod didn't make as big a difference as you wanted. Take a stock one for a test drive and see how sluggish our cars can be stock. As to your im question, I can give a review if you'd like after I get mine monday. Also contemplating a temp test between my car and my friends after a few runs to see how much a difference the insulator is doing.


He brings up a ton of good points. Now that being said, IMHO yes it is worth it.
