I think the idea is that the smooth pipe causes less turbulence, hence less back-pressure, hence Fabspeed's claimed increase of 128 HP. So, they are no longer calling it a cold air intake? They used to.
Hey, anyone got a hemholz box they want to sell for cheap? I may be concerting mine back.

What one seller reported on their website is that the stock tube constricts when hot and the replacement doesn't ensuring constant air flow.

Wow, once again we got a lot of worrysome bunch. How about the worried folks just leave their airbox stock and gain some sleep at night.
I've actually been using the 3" and 4" versions for actual plumbing work and never had one back out. But you can also just use some blue loctite if it makes you feel better as an alternative to a nylock nut.

No, I ran it open for awhile infact. That's why I never understand why people hoseclamp it to death since it's already sealed. But take note, if you remove the resonator, you will need to seal the hole.
