I'm with the OP, intakes are scams. You don't need intake systems at all, stock or aftermarket. I've taken all that **** off, and just run air directly into the engine ... runs great. Picked up at least 30hp.

Just replace the stock air intake with a tank of compressed air

The ford model t engine was in production for like, 33 years. You know what it didn't have? An air filter. That thing crammed air directly into the engine like a boss. We have all been fooled by a marketing scam that makes us spend our hard earned money on air filters when engines run much better without it. Sack up and rip all that **** out.

I fail to see what your entire thread has added to this forum that hasn't already been discussed. So why don't you exit off this planet with a razor, your wrist, and some warm water.
