If the filters truly make no difference in HP gains, then we are led to believe that 20HP gains are to be made by rerouting the air to the throttle body through these tubes rather than the stock airboxes? Is the stock airbox design that poor/restrictive?


Promising gains regardless of where they came from. I don't care if its some STILLEN black magic trick. This is a significant step toward the 300HP N/A mark.
The stock filters probably arent BAD...its their location, and the fact that a lot of engine bay heat can easily be brought in. Moving them outside of the engine bay is probably a fairly large improvement.
