unless you like water sucked in instead of air, shit for gas mileage, and no power gain but power loss...then ya.....those things are pieces of shiet.

No, they are not worth it. Just get a CAI if that's what you're looking for. Performance > Appearance

well...

first of all...the piping is far from the throttle body and the air has to travel through so many bends to get to it. no velocity.

second of all, i doubt that there was any R&D put into the design.

third,.... it just looks very gay.

You read my mind Short intake piping helps with low and mid range torque. Longer piping will help top end. But add too many bends and you killl everything.
