That number seems very high. Someone on here had the tubes with either the K&N or AFE Dry flow filters and I believe it was somewhere around 10 hp gain, which I feel is still on the high side. From what people have said, the combination of the tubes with filters would typically gain around 6 - 8 hp.
I think the main reason people get these is so they can avoid taking the bumper off, and for the gains you get, which are very close to CAI gains once other mods are added (exhaust...), they are so close that it doesn't warrant paying an additional $400 for the CAI...
