This gizmo looks like it may actually do what it says.  Breathless claims 6-8 HP gains between the Power Coupler and the Power Duct..  We'll see after my next trip to the dyno.  But - take a look at this intake coupler.  Which one do you think causes less turbulence?  My vote is for the one on the right.  Less turbulence should equal more airflow.

The same holds true for the intake tunnel itself.  According to Breathless's web page, their version improves airflow by 30 percent.  You can tell by looking at how much bigger it is.  Note the ported MAF sensor.

Here's the complete assembly.

About Breathless Performance Products:  They seemed a bit un-organized and it took a while to get them to do anything.  I was initially interested in their carbon fiber engine dress-up components, but the pictures on their web page (more on the web page later) were too small to see enough detail.  I called them and was promised an e-Mail with larger images.  It *never* came.  Additionally, I ordered the Power Duct in September and got it in November.  That seems like quite a while to me, especially for a  product that is "Available for immediate delivery" per their web page.  I also noticed some problems with their web page and (being a good webmaster myself) attempted to contact their "webmaster".  Turns out that he (some guy named Denis) is no longer associated with Breathless - the web page says he is, but he isn't.  We exchanged several e-mail flames (he figured that it was somehow my problem that his name was erroneously on the Breathless web page) and I finally gave up.  I did copy Ernie on all the correspondence.  As of this writing (11-03-2000), their web page is still broken.  You can't submit technical questions because the form generates an error.  I have submitted technical questions directly to Ernie and he has *never* answered me.  So, they get an A for their product (looks good, instructions clear, seems to work); a C on ordering and shipping (takes too long, no communication, web broken) and an F on responsiveness (NO communication unless I initiate it, busted web page, no technical support, nothing but silence, etc.)
