Anyone used the Crosswind intake? I know it's made in China, but is it any good? Thanks

Haven't used it personally but was going to but it has 340/360 large ports and I wanted a smaller intake port to better match my mag heads. I hear the early ones had QC probs but that that has been pretty much resolved. The price is right and everything (pretty much) is made over there so I would have no prob ordering one

No, it doesn't.

It's a good intake for those who dont wish to pay an extra 100 plus bucks for a fancy logo. It fits on an LA or a magnum too. The port alignment is pretty good. The bolt holes might be a tad large necessitating you to be mindful of how it sits when you torque it down. Overall I like it!

I hope there is a single plane design to follow.

If other manufacturers feel rubbed the wrong way by this, then good! They should compete instead of being crooks.

Thats crap attitude. If you think the only diff is the 100 try a snapon/craftsman/kt tool vs the cheap china tool see which works better. Besides think its a coincidence that the cheapy intakes look exactly like the eddy or others? rip off in more ways than one.

You would probably be better off if you could find a used Edelbrock. I have never seen a product that was manufactured in China, Vietnam, or Mexico that has as high of standards as American made products. Sadly, my job depends upon imports.

IMHO any LD4B or LD340 intake is right on par with and airgap rpm intake

old skool but still ranks up there in the #s shoot out

i like my LD4B on the 318 over any intake I have had so far

have not had a airgap.but have put a couple on and have seen the improvment it made though

Because when you buy some name brand stuff thats all your paying for is a logo. Not research and development or anything like that. Any retard can just go out and cast their own manifold and it works like it should, right?
