Default Vortex intake without a new bridge?

will i pick up enough gains just buying the kit or do i really need the air bridge on a stock motor? what about the coupler?

for 225 shipped it seems like a nice addition of horsepower

Bridge and coupler are not good for any gains, both flow well to over 600HP, the Vortex is where you will gain(I have one for sale if you are interested a lot lower than $225)

No need for any bridge or coupler. My stock stuff works perfect with my vortex. Vortex flows just as well or better than all the other stuff. Can't beat the used prices for them on the forum!
