Not singling them out for any reason other than you mentioning them. Every one else does it too (including the Perrin I have). It's all a racket. Get an intake if you want a good sound, not for perf.
Good thing you singled out a company that did exactly what you claim they didn't.

It's not big gains, it's small gains, and the GrimmSpeed is the only one demonstrated to work successfully without rescaling MAF - not that it doesn't benefit from a little attention. And it cleans up the engine bay a LOT - which can be rather useful.

Is it worth the money? Maybe not if you're after power, unless you are trying to squeeze the maximum amount out that a particular set of rules allows.
