3. How can the drop in filters plus maf set up be the same hp as the K&N short ram?

Please explain. I am no mechanic.
1. About the same as stock, there may be a slight hiss on cold start.

2. They are made of silicone instead of metal which has much greater heat resistance.

3. The stock intake setup is already quite good, changing out the tubes and filters only improves upon what is essentially a CAI system by slightly increasing air flow and heat resistance. If you use short rams you are going to lose the CAI benefits of the stock setup.
