Fair point, and that really applies to most bolt ons. But remeber those times in the summer when the car bogs down so much, that ure mums civic would have a running chance? With the carbon fibre intakes, they may not be absolute power getters but they are power keepers. Instead of the temp sensor going off the dial and deciding its going to retard timming, the CF helps keeps the intake temp down so ure car runs consistently at its optimum. Also even though the mods doesnt light up the dyno, it does improve response and helps rev a little easier.

IMO a pod on the end of a heat sucking metal pipe isnt ideal for our engines. Thats why the standard box is shielded like it is.
