I do not find your comments offensive, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I was only trying to make a case for my belief that the horns did not scoop (ram) air as others believed. The reason for them having any effect is now put down to reducing turbulence. That I can believe.
If the air available at any speed is more than required then the 3% gain is actually even less. That is if the 3% stays the same over all air flow volumes.
As I stated before if the devils horn was of any real benefit then we could expect to see them on F1 cars etc. But F1 car bodies are obviously designed to reduce turbulence around the air intake as Rob has stated the devils horn and the filters do.
