The stock air box is good for 280-300 hp, unless you've done some serious mods to the motor you won't see any difference. Yeah I've heard people say they can tell the difference in power but unless I see a dyno chart, it's all in their imagination. Save your money for an SI ecu upgrade or when they finish the turbo kit.

Don't want to start a argument but I just pulled off the AMG/SRT6 air boxes and re-installed the factory engine cover/intake prior to taking mine into the dealer for the first service/oil change. Car was quieter, smoother at low revs but SLOWER. Difference was startling so I put the AMG set-up right back on. It revved faster, pulled harder and was louder. I'll take the stock set-up to the strip with me when I go and get e.t./MPH number to confirm.

I really don't think this is just a subjective impression. Dynos cay vary But the quarter mile doesn't lie. I'll post numbers as soon as I get 'em !

cool I look forward to you testing results, but you have to use clean filters on the stock set up, just so your not blurring the results with plugged up filters..

the dyno wont vary as long as your doing the same test on the same dyno in the same weather conditions.
