There are two kinds of intake mods- ones that disrupt the MAF signal, and ones that don't. One has the potential to cause premature engine failure, and the other doesn't do squat. So why get either one? I'm not personally sold on the whole different filter aspect. I personally don't see how it makes a big difference, especially on a forced induction car. And besides, filtering the intake air to keep dirt and grit out of your turbo is MUCH more important than 5 hp. The silencer mod is more for sound purposes than for power gains.
