I have one, it was one of my first mods. I thought the same thing - but i figure i would give it a shot and if it did not work immediately i would send it back for a full refund (except for frt back). I know some people on the CF don’t believe they work but "feeling is believing". I installed mine about 1 and 1/2 years ago and could feel an immediate difference off the line. I was spinning tires much easier and it was very peppy off the line. From 3500 rpm and up I could not feel a difference. I read somewhere where the velocity stack work well on the bottom end but can restrict a little at the upper rpm range. The velocity stack smoothes the air coming into the T/B but in doing so it does add about 2mm of plastic that would restrict it slightly in WOT. If your more worried about off the line performance AND don’t have a bunch of mods planned for the future then go for it. If you plan on doing a bunch of mods in the near future then spend the money on a ported T/B for a little over $100.00. The ported T/B wont restrict the WOT (It should help) and it would be peppier off the line as well.

Good luck.

I've seen two installs....both made more power and torque with that thing laying on the floor.

You mileage may vary....but I doubt it.
