Well I know that it probably doesn't make any more HP... But it does get a better air flow to the intake which is better cleaner air!!! If it had a heat shield "soon to be installed" it would be perfect to keep the A/C fan from blowing on it.... I do have a small tube down in the bottom of the front lower grill that is blowing some fresh air to that area... bur I don't know if it helps or not... and also the less stuff under the hood to get hot the cooler it runs!!!
