I would have to disagree on this...

I think i said this before but i'll say it again. Intakes DO NOT give 8-10 HP, maybe at crank, but not at the wheels. And no you wont feel a difference in movement but in sound....it just sounds really deep. 12-15hp is just ridiculous, it's a 2.0L 4 bannger...not an srt-8, even then i think thats high. Intakes are low output power adders that in all honesty are designed to make you feel better at the pump and allow people to say they have an intake on their ride, rather than a power adder that gives 15.8-23.7hp. I dont even think with fuel upgrades and reflash would those ridiculous numbers come up, not with this engine. LOL....15.8-23.7 That was not the answer to the question, rather an uneducated opinion.
