IMO...not for 2k. if you want to change the intake, there are a lot less expensive alternatives.

That intake is meant for someone who will stick it in a closet for 30 years and sell it to someone to fund their retirement. I'd pass.

Not for that price. I have one in the classified all polished with 2.5 sets of gaskets and all hardware and in instructions for 1600. It's a good intake. I've owned 3 of them and that was enough for me. The one piece miniram I like alot better. Stealth ram is another choice.

Minirams are also pricey, but they perform very well and offer a particular look which were the reasons I bought one.

The Stealth ram is a good cheaper alternative though.

Put a Super ram on, bolt it all down with gaskets and sit back and realize you forgot to put the TV cable under the top plenum. You will instantly hate it without a doubt, lol

I don't think that's horrible - if you could get it bought out of ebay would save you 10% for fees - its a very complete setup(base, runners and plenum plus gaskets) people want over 1 k just for plenum and runners I feel like I stole mine was basically NOS but was bolted up - never installed even came in original box with harness Accel ECM and a crazy Ignition system and new Edelbrock Victor w/p was about 400 less than ebay one, I bought it because they look awesome under the hood, I know a pain to work on but its what I wanted - stealth ram looks like a kleenex box manifold-Meh Miniram would of been second choice - what do you like?
may look nationally on Craigslist and be patient
