Money's spent better elsewhere, there's been alot of talk about the effectiveness of the aftermarket tubes, and the conclusion was that it wasn't worth the expense. At least that was my conclusion based on the reviews I read on aftermarket intake tubes.

From what I have read a 5" Exhaust is about as helpful as an Intake Tube...
