50 MM Euro Intake?

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Al, thanks for the reply.  I have not heard any glowing reviews of the
50 MM intakes and the price is defiantly prohibitive.

shifts the torque (and thus HP) curve to the right (peak at higher rpm).
it would have better effect where other mods were involved - other mods
that 
would have done better with a higher torque peak anyhow.
i stuck with the stock intake on the rieger, even with the 2.0 and
exhaust, 
due to the better low end torque that it provides.
