No you need to cut your bulkhead apart still. They give you a few more ponies but you loose torque... Not sure about the 10bhp claim though

the power cap give 5BHP ish, but you loose midrange torque the SFi box would generate. you can use an ecotec pipe adaptor whihc will do the same job, cost half, and won't need to cut the blukhead.

throttle response is a little better from above 2k, and they're louder than the sfi.
the powercap looks better, but i'd use the ecopipe for easyness sake.
the bulkhead still needs cutting, and the cap runs a bit too close to the brake pipes for comfort.
