If you really did your search you'll find that it is really just for sound.

The aggressive sound in terms will convert extra hp in your mind. Your mind is a powerful thing.

Power can be accumlative. Might work better with a spacer too. But the real gains will be the spacer! And even that's not a lot, but starts to open things up the way they should be, and it's something you can feel.

save for the mrev/spacer.

that seems like it's just about the only semi-easily bolt-on mod you notice anything with. That, or lightweight wheels.

Not all the time, sometimes they cancel each other. let say with intake you make 3whp by itself and Headers 10whp and Exhaust 6whp. 3+10+6=19. but put them together you might get 15 out of all of them.

I agree, but I was only talking intake and spacer. If anything they should be additive as they do complement each other as far as improving breathing.

/\ Out intake is more than efficient and that is why people don't get any noticeable gain from them (maybe just a little on top end). A spacer will give him the advertised power with or without a change on the intake. Bottom line if the original poster did his search, changing the intake will only improve sound and will not see a noticeable power change.
