You will get some gain but I think it is mostly from the cooler air not the "ram air" effect. Its so cheap to do though why wouldn't you do it. I think its one of those every little bit helps type mods.

LOL.. well as much as I hate dyno racing. I did pick up 3 rwhp with my Whisper Ram Air. I'm sure there is alot more gain with a vehicle at speed.
