correct, but without a proper tune it makes no difference as the ECU can't take advantage of it. An intake alone is a waste of money. As part of other mods, it can be useful.
You'd be surprised what a good panel filter in the stock airbox can do......50-75% of the benefits of an intake at 10% of the cost. I put an AEM panel filter in my SRT8 and got lean codes so it flows more air as well. I can monitor IATs via the LCD screen.....6-8 degrees F over ambient.....pretty darned good.
<--- has bought dedicated intakes for quite a few cars but gotten rid of them unless a tune was involved.
