I've seen the pictures, but I would be skeptical of the numbers. The kit uses the stock Mass Air Sensor, which is the most restrictive part of the intake. Think of it like a funnel that limits how much air can flow. You can add huge tubes on either side of the MAS, but the stock MAS will still suffocate the intake. All the full kit adds is a plastic tube after the MAS that replaces the rubber hose that leads into the throttle body. I don't see how that would make that much of a difference. Get the C&L MAS instead, it is worth the money. If a kit uses the stock MAS, the K&N filter is the only performance enhancing part of the kit. The stock MAS will always be the bottleneck in the intake and will limit any improvement the kit will make.
