Even if there were a benefit, you wouldn't feel it.

But the SOUND difference is very noticable.

You really won't feel anything. It does make it sound much better though.

If there is any difference in performance, you wont feel it. But it sounds awesome.

The Z-tube is an audio mod (which is GREAT) and the sound will make you think that the car is faster.

There is very little gin to be had from intake, and exhaust to be honest. Normally all it does is move the torque curve about, but it will make the car sound nice.

^^ Wrong...Wrong... more air movement can create more power, but a good tune is gonna be important.

Add a sticker and you'll make 10hp! But the sticker is the main power maker here...

What? You think you can get good gains? Sorry, but not in my experience. An intake, and an exhaust will give you maybe 5 at most. It's really not a great HP investment, unless you have additional modifications.

Full intake... MAYBE 2hp at most. THat's even pushing it. But a simple z tube? Won't gain any HP what-so-ever. It's a pure sound mod. ALong with many intakes (mostly CAI) mainly for sound with 1-2 hp at most.
