The part where you may be getting some actual power is the Z tube where it makes the air flow a lot less restricted and in turn the air is kept colder...

Just love the cone air filter for sound

why wouldnt you want one?!

The chirp of the intake is one of my favorite mods actually. I went with a short ram, I'm convienced that a longer intake pipe loses pressure and decreases HP.

I gained ~17wrhp with intake, ztube, plenum and high flow cats.

Then another 5 when i put test pipes on instead of hfc.
