ATS intake manifold vs other intake mods

Just taking a look at the ATS site and I found this:
http://www.atsdiesel.com/ATSWebsite/...InManifold.asp

Do you really think it is worth $325 or are there other things you can do to the stock setup that would be more effective/cheaper?

Of course, "The use of an ATS Exhaust Manifold is recommened with the ATS Intake Manifold." Complete with typo even. Gimme a break, unless you're turning the crazy ludicrous numbers that so few are actually turning, I'd think you're money would be better spent elsewhere. Oh, did it say it was pre-tapped for water injection? Hot dang, I'd jump right on that! I doubt you'll feel much change whatsoever in power.

Looks a lot like the banks, I'm planning on getting the banks, but still not sure it's worth the $$$

Not much that can be done with the air intake system, IMO. Look what happens to the air flow after the "smooth flowing" air horn.

Visual appeal and actual performance increase are two very different things...but the ATS intake sure is sexy!

I know no one that has even considered testing it.

There were some dyno tests done on the Banks manifold over on the TDR a couple of years ago. When the Banks was installed the truck LOST power.
