Pete; Don't get too sensitive, or defensive. Everyone has their own opinion. You know Tonka has a Mantec, and it's not just powder coated, it's color matched, as well. And it has a couple of rust spots coming through after three years. But at least it's inside the fender and doesn't look like a damned leach stuck to the side of my truck. Or look like cheap plastic on a 42000 dollar suv. To each their own. One thing though, from a mechanical standpoint, the position of the intake head doesn't mean shit. You're not creating a ram-air effect by having a forward facing scoop, and in Florida hurricane season rains; you're only asking to swallow water when driving long distances.
