Hey Woody.... I'm waaaaaiiiting, good thing I didn't hold my breath, 3 years is a long time
. Did you ever get those numbers or has anyone else done any testing as to whether or not removing these tubes or pieces below them is th ebest route ot go???
I know its a longshot, but who knows....

They probably are not as restrictive as they look if you compare their total area compared with the MAF housing/throttle body area. I think this area is worth a look restriction wise as there are internal direction vanes to force the air through 90 degrees.
Just some additional info...on my limited dyno runs to 5,000 rpm there was absolutely no difference in whp running with or without the engine cover, even though my filters were the originals and pretty dirty.
