Yes you get a couple HP. HP / $ it's not that good of a mod but does help a little.

if you want power don't do intake. search a little bit??? intake is for sound and looks, if you want some performance go look at the spacers and mrev2 or exhaust stuff

im not trying to get tons of power. just a little bit. and i do want it to sound better so the ztube will make it sound better im guessing since it wont have the silencer boxes on the tube?

Don't get the z tube.

I have it and don't like it. Get some kind of polished aluminum tube. Or, get a CAI.

i had a cf z tube that made a huge sound difference. also, there's a thread somewhere on here of dynos showing the k&n drop in making more power than any cai or sri.

no noticeable power at all, even dyno it would hard to be say for sure you gain any power from any intakes... or if you do, you most likely lost low end as well. i have the z tube and pop charger but it is purely for sound. i would like to get a stillen box for it at some point

well i guess if the ztube was cheap enough then the sound it produces would be worth it
