Default air bridge

Going to finish Installing a vararam this weekend, bought the air bridge with it. Is the really any difference as far a performance of the vararam bridge vs. BW or K&N bridge per say...or factory for that matter ? After looking at the vararam bridge ( if its not going to really matter, I'd like to keep the one that was on my car when I purchased it. Its either a carbon fiber or dipped bridge and matches my other carbon engine covers.
I have some brand of after market cai installed, haven't been to tell the brand yet...still going with the vararam to the bridge though....

Thanks,

Jerry

I recently researched the topic. General consensus is there is no gain to be had hp wise, only potential gain is from a cosmetic standpoint. I decided to keep my stock one.
