Also, the description from HPS is showing dyno numbers for the tubes alone:

"Fits Nissan 2009-2013 370Z 3.7L VQ37VHR. Replaces Stock OEM Restrictive Air Intake Hose, improves air flow, reduces heat soak and does NOT trigger check engine light. Delivers dyno-proven performance gains of +6.77 Whp, +6.38 Ft/lbs without any re-tuning. "
The more I read about the silicone intakes and reusable filters (k&n) the more they seem to make sense, especially when you consider the initial cost involved. The fact that they airfilters are easily accessible for cleaning is another huge plus.
