It will change the sound but not increase power.

Air intake is an essential part of the combustion engine, so yes, it is worth it.

Buy as mentioned above, you can be ready to get like an amazing .04535 HP from that new sexy $300 bad boy of an air intake - oh and it will sound cooler.. well yea it will basically just sound cooler.

I bought the revi intake. It has a much cooler sound, but to be honest, I think I almost lost power from swapping. I do like the sound though.
