I like the way they look, but don't know if they function any better than the other cai's out there, enough to compensate for the added complexity. Rich H. Esse Quam Videri

Sadly, the area fully deserves a warning about “sucker bait.” Ram air intakes and exhaust systems of tubular headers and mufflers have way more connections than one might first guess. Hypersonic and Rotary Detonation Engine are currently “hot topics” and involve the same knowledge as a sucker bait ram air intake made cheaply and sold at high markup.

Possibly a bit, but at the entry price I'd say the money could likely be spent elsewhere and be more beneficial. Doubt one would even notice the difference excet for the JO selling them www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

I bought the "seal" on Amazon, but you only need about 5' (compared to the link in the article).
