You need the silicone hoses too in combination with the filters. You get a small gain in HP/tq. You don't feel added hp, but you can feel the torque, also a significant improvement in throttle response. The best part about that set up is the small bump is throughout the range 1500-7000rpm. so you're using your little 5-8hp whenever you need it. Not just at mid/high rpm's.

I almost did the JWT with silicones, but i feel the jwt is to high up in the engine compartment. You'll be sucking in hot engine air, not fresh outdoor air.
