The only real gripe I've come across has been the price. Someone told me around $500. Other than that I haven't heard anything negative.

yes $500 for an air intake is too much. It is a good looking unit just not worth $500 to me. To each their own. I even know some people that prefer the manual over the automatic trans... go figure

500 is kind of steep but I have heard its a quality piece....

Hard to say whats the right way to go when modding..

No right or wrong way to go....and callaway does make quality products.

Thanks for all the replies, I have heard people say you dont want a bottom feeder.I Guess all that matters is that I am happy with the product.

I've been using the Blackwing for about 4 years and have been very happy with it. I have tended to experiment so when I saw a barely used Honker with the cowling I bought it for $268. The piece is very well made maybe better than OEM. I am concerned about how it will function in the rain and I am sure it will require more frequent cleaning as anyone who has looked at or cleaned their AC condenser will attest it get dirty up in there. MTI Racing tends to use the Honker on all their mods so I do expect good results. [Smile]
