Default Carbon Fiber Intake Coupler

Does anybody use the Carbon Fiber Intake Coupler?

If so what are the pro's and con's.

For me I like the looks of them, but are there any performance advantages (they claim 6hp)....they are kinda expensive....I'm thinking about adding a Blackwing filter and the carbon fiber (maybe)....I now have a stock filter on a 2000 6 speed (with CORSA exhaust)..

Any feedback is welcome...thanks..

A blackwing and carbon fiber coupler was on the car when I bought it. The coupler looks nice and I suspect that's about it.
