Your source's logic doesn't make any sense. Intakes are designed to pull in colder, denser air to increase the efficiency of the burn in the combustion chamber, along with higher flow, and in our case messing a little bit with the mass air flow sensor positioning and tubing to lean out our air fuel ratio a tad.

Adding in other bolt ons generally increase flow on the ass end of the engine, which only makes the longtubes a BETTER choice since you will relieve all of the bottlenecks in the system. If you just did drop-ins and a full exhaust, your engine choke point will likely be at the intake since it won't flow as much air as it could, restricting horsepower.
