Yeah dale, I've got that jamex box in my 16v.  I didn't pay the money for
it though, I got it in a trade deal for a master cylinder I had lying
around.  Like your friend says, it's better than a swiss cheesed box -
sounds better (IMO, of course), and seems to give a real increase in power
over a K&N/cut box combo.  Not a ton, of course, but I think it's there.
AFAIK the things go for around $150US?
