better handling though, the wider tires have more grip..

The sound it makes is really worth it to me!!!!

When driving thru in Hood I like hitting the gas when I see the corner boys doing there 9 to 5. My car tinted up and black therefore they think i'm DEA or FEDS. The FEDS here's drive Range Rover and BMW M5 blacked out and Rimed up.

But seriously it looks good and sounds great but very little performance gains. Just my 2 cents.

point taken, but can't you get the same width in either size diameter? it is a serious question because I am not sure.

Does installing an intake void the warranty on the car?

Is a $400 intake setup worth it? For all intents and purposes, no, it's not "worth" it. If you're looking to gain some noticeable HP, than it's definitely not worth it. For me it was simply because I have the disposable income to spend on car parts and I wanted that intake "growl."

If you're looking for performance, probably not worth it. If you are looking for better looks + sound, probably yes.
