As for the smooth post MAF tubes, like I said there is maybe 1hp to gained from those alone. Personally I don't have them. The dyno sheets I saw showed about a 5hp gain from the K&N's and post MAF tubes, and 8-9hp from the Stillen G3's. The Stock intake flows quite nicely from the threads I read. The biggest gain in the K&N drop in Post MAF mod is the filters. I stand by my 1hp gain from the tubes alone. Most guys who had the K&N's first then later added the Post MAF tubes didn't feel much if any difference compared to the stock tubes. You ok now? While I may be new to this forum, and the VHQ, I do know what I'm talking about.
So you don't have them and don't have a dyno with just filters. But according to your research they don't really help and you back up your statement by concluding because other guys 'didn't feel a difference', there's only a 1whp gain?

Thank you for explaining.
