Dude, I read thru a bunch of that 2nd link (the first 1 is blocked by my work), but I don't even see anything about the folds in an intake being beneficial. If you want to make a point, show me where to look. lol.

The thing most people don't consider is that when the engineers at car companies design cars, they are not designing race cars. They have a lot more considerations than just performance. Fuel consumption, driveability, comfort, and countless other things are considered also.
With that being said, I don't really see how those folds effectively increase torque in a way that would be beneficial to the motor's performance. I'm pretty sure it's just easier to make the intakes that way because of a cost issue from the viewpoint of the car maker. Those bends allow the intake to be adjusted without new pipes being necessary.
yeah i know i was just stating that racing teams dont use stock intakes. they are restrictive, and are look more intimidating than what they can actually benefit.
i'm home sick with swine flu and i'm having trouble trying to explain it so nevermind. A stock intake with a cut grille and K&N filter and all the mods they did in the autospeed.com link will probably make more power than most setups.
I feel like the stock intake that seals the heat from the engine bay and takes in cold air from the front of the car will be better than a vatozone filter stuck on the MAF sensor. There isn't much airflow to the filter on a short ram intake.
well to my understanding from the enthusiasts i talk to down here, Cold is denser air for burning fuel faster, but warm air is good too cuz it burns the fuel better aswell.
wtf? that makes absolutely no sense at all.
I punch my car too, it won't move unless the pedal is on the floor, but my other car is a Bullitt Mustang, so i'm used to having some torque.
