This^^^

But to piggy back on that comment. The car has been rated at 205 BHP, but there have been dynos showing that the '17MY actually puts down more than 5 extra HP or TQ to the wheels than the previous years. Is there substantial proof of this, nope, but enough that it is very possible the revised car puts out more than advertised. Of course there are many more reasons for this than just the intake manifold.
