Works perfectly fine but the only reason your car might go faster is because your wallet is lighter.
Waste your $$ on something else

I have taken sooo many 58mm Tbodys off of cars with the plenum opening behind them not even port matched.....
Everyone is correct, don't waste your coin till your making big power.
