It's more one of those "feel good" mods <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . No doubt it is of some benefit but no more than a couple hp at most. Yes, I have one *L*.

It was on sale for 40 bucks and I was ordering stuff anyway so I got it, at least it should clean things up a bit

I have the LS1 Motorsports Direct-flo bellows and I like it. If nothing else, it cleans up the look of the intake. I put it on at the same time as my MAF, so I'm not sure which one did it, but I did feel an increase in the mid and upper range.

use of the 3.5" > 4" coupler works out perfectly and is made in red and blue for those crazy about appearance.
