Just what proof do they have that you would gain 8 HP? Sometimes that just isn't true, and it ends up being just the opposite, you lose 8 HP.

Yep, looks just like the one on my 2.4L PT Cruiser. It did help with the hesitation that I had on acceleration from a standing start. Can't say if it added 8 hp.

You'd probably need 3 of those for this ol' 350 to breath. Not to mention all the cheap generic filter material they're using which fills your engine with dust.

A 5-8 hp gain is the expected gain,your results may vary,but the sound will definitely be more intense
