The only reason to get an aftermarket intake other than the Gen III is that you care about how your engine bay looks more than how your car performs. Given that after having done exhaust mods the Gen III only adds about 10hp above 7k rpm, it's just simply not worth the trouble to me.

Pure Bovine Scatology. If you don't think that a short ram intake improves air flow, you're dreaming. Yes, the long tube intakes give slightly better performance, but to say anything but a long tube intake is just window dressing is laughable.

Your example above would say that the stock air boxes and air tubes have the same performance as any short ram intake (?). Again pure Bovine Scatology.



EDIT: btw, Jim Wolfe stuff is top notch!
