I agree, but might go for it anyway just to dress up the engine compartment. As long as don't lose any HP, I will be happy...I can always put on the stock pipes for regular driving and put on the CAI for car shows. I was also thinking about seeing if the down pipes can be purchased separately and fabricate or attach a section of the OEM down pipes so that they can be re-attached in there regular position, again to add a little "bling" to the engine compartment.
