I paid 110 for mild steel, plus $30 in paint. sooo yes in my books it is.
I havnt notice lag, just a slight bit of lag, but once the power kicks in, its more than worth it. people who go down this path will more then likely turn their car into something mildly modified.
im after a computer next.
just a tip, try and cut the u bend to be as close as posible. when i feel bored or when i get another front bar, i'll probably chop about 3 inches on either side.
if you see lzy pic and my pic, mine could use some more trimming.
believe it or not the silicon hoses and t- bolt clamps cost more than the piping.
