And smooth intake tubes help to have better airstream through the MAF what may gain a few HP.
But what I've seen till today is that you may get about 27hp max out of all together. You cannot simply count the gains together. So if you add new air filters you may see 15hp gain, adding smooth intake pipes then do not add the tested 17hp but only a few then. This due to the fact that an aftermarket filter may already streamline the airflow a little better so the intake tube doesn't help anymore. But that's theory.
The best would be to have a car will all togher on the dyno. I will have my tune soon but leave the Sport exhaust, so I have only filters and tune.
