If you mean the K&N filters, at some points in the rev range, it's greater (see dyno below -- that's with stock MAF tubes).

If you mean just the post MAF tubes, I'd be a bit skeptical too...

^Yea, post MAF's. I LOLed at those numbers they claim to provide.

I stopped by at Cobb here in Austin and they told me they are getting away from naturally aspirated engines. They want to stick to turbos.

jordo- are you going to try these post MAF tubes with your stock box and K&N drop-ins?

Just ordered the silicone intake hose from Corsport. I already have the K&N drop ins. Let's see, the K&N's give me about 6hp and the hose will give me another 6..... That's the way it works, doesn't it.

I will post some pictures when I get them installed. Actually I am doing this mainly for appearance. I think that the accordian hose looks pretty cheesy. If I get a few horses from it that will be great.

ricer math FTW! haha but i did this exact set up, it really makes the engine rev really smooth, and it feels a little more eager to pull in the higher RPMs, once the ecu adjusts they feel really good...i would venture to say this setup is good for about 5-8 ponies

i think the biggest difference you will feel is when you're just shy of the torque band and you punch the gas. where stock would bog i think you'll feel a more responsive pickup.

this is just speculation...but usually that's where the benefit is for shortrams with larger tubes imo. and they do look hells better than stock.

I don't think so. I'm eventually switching to a custom set up -- I've got a thread on it.
