Numbers...if you want those, don't spend the money $400 is way too much for a few HP.
It's about the sound, the look and then the few ponies that you get for the $$$
If you just want HP, go with the inexpensive intake, most likely you'll get close to the same numbers.
But it does sound way cool....

I anticipate this intake performing much better than my CGS since it actually getting cooler air from the wheel well instead of hot air from the engine compartment. That and the hassles I won't have to put up with since it is a GMPP is well worth it to me.

I'd agree except that when you start getting codes and the dealer blames it on the intake and says they won't try fixing it except to clear the code until you put the stock back on, this becomes an easy decision. Oh yeah, love the $85 diagnistoc charge since they said it wasn't warranty work. And please don't give me the line about the Magnuson Warranrty Act, if a dealer doesn't want to work on your car, they will still say no.
