surely you must need to be revving high in order for this to work effectively then?

I don't get how these give the same increase as a Mantzel, as the inlet is still routed through the shitty plastic thingy jiggy. Which, if i'm correct is what vaux used to restrict the airflow.

Dont these use the ram effect or "forcing" the air into the block due to a certain type of turbulence and thats where the extra power comes from? Something to do with the shape of it.

Thats what I thought, but as far as I know the upper inlet also restricted power. Its why I went for the Dbilas.
