I replaced the oem intake tubes for silicone equivalent and the oem filters for the K&N slide ins and did notice a difference in throttle response and gained a bit of top end power. Very good bang for the buck & easy to install mod. No tune required and easy to maintain.

Why would silicone tubes make a difference? which ones did you get?

The stock intake tubes are ribbed and create turbulence. Smooth tubes offer better airflow. There are a variety of options out there.

So you can use silicone tubes with the stock boxes and filters?

I got the Mishimoto one. Don't buy Z1 they are overpriced and are the exact same design. I'm sure you can find the K&N filters and the Mishimoto silicone tubes on Amazon and have them shipped together at an inexpensive rate.
