How does it breathe better, but gains nothing??? Will it make the K&N Filters perform better?
Other than that, what's the point? Is there a cool factor of having these under the hood where Some would waste $108 for pretty much ............NOTHING!!!

A long time ago someone posted the gains from these. They were just short of the long tube intakes people put on, but keep more mid range power. I believe the dyno showed a 6 - 8 hp gain. Again, this was years ago so im not sure where to even look for the info. It was on these forums though...

Are there any differences between any of them?

GZ3 · 07-17-2015, 07:38 PM

I really dont think so... All i remeber is z1's could have been a bit longer on the passenger side. The hps fit spot on

synolimit · 07-31-2015, 02:48 AM

Z1 doesn't have steel wire inside to keep the shape so under WOT the tube doesn't collapse. I don't think it's a issue because it's really thick silicone. HPS I believe does have the steel wire. Only difference I know of.

I assume you meant to say the Z1 DOES have steel wire inside. Their description on their website says it does, so I would think these are the same as the HPS...

It does have metal wiring actually. And they dont need to be cut to fit. They are a tight fit, but thats a good thing.
