The pic shows that it fits and looks really cool but does it give you the " Oh yeah, glad I got these! I go faster now buahahaha "

When you used the term "such a small area" I thought you meant how it fit as opposed to how it works. Sorry. Actually, I put the K&N drop in's first and then the tubes. I really can't discern much gain, but I do think that it sounds better than the stock tubes. I don't know if that is because of the tubes or the drop in's however. I have a Stillen CBE that really ramps up the sound anyway so it's hard to tell if it really made much difference. As others have stated, they dino'd the drop in's at a 6hp gain, and I would imagine that the tubes may add another 1 or 2. They are quite smooth where the stock tubes were not.
