Default Skunk2 B-Series Billet VTEC Solenoid

i saw this last week on facebook. imo i wouldnt spend money on it until i needed a new one. cheaper than honda and im sure you could still re-use the parts needed to make complete.

its definitely not just a cover! it's the full bottom assembly with your stock solenoid bolted on top. Sammy i dont think your talking about the same thing as the OP. Op is talking about this here: http://cms.skunk2.com/id/709/B-Serie...VTEC-Solenoid/ its just for looks if u want to buy one; more bling for you. no one has had problems with their stock OEM solenoid. for 120 bux i think ill stay with my OEM solenoid.

Skunk2 has sold a solenoid cover for years, but yes...this is a new product...a new solenoid itself!

As for performance, no. All it does is open an close for oil in the head to activate the vtec lobes

Honestly, I wouldnt touch skunk2 with a stick when it comes to performance, but that's just me.

It's just bling for baller points. The OE solenoids are super reliable, except for O rings and seals.

No need to throw insults around.

Who are you talking to anyway? Most of the posters in this thread agree with the last part of your post.
