Default power duct ZO6?

I hear they are just for looks, but I have also heard ( and seen) a tiny gain. now they SAY it will give like 8 rwhp but it doesn't, my buddy got like a 3-4 gain on the dyno. it was hard to tell that it was from the PD cause he did one with the whole intake setup. Now I will be getting a carbin fiber one with my Raptor XXL intake. I just want everything up to the throttle body aftermarket. and yea, they do look bad *** from the stock one! id go for it!!

^Now that is funny.^

I just hate the BBK aluminum ones (well the intake thing). They look to old school carb looking.
