Most of the comments on intake not being worth it has to do with aftermarket CAI, not the manifold.

It is not that the OEM is better, it is that you are spending 250-400 bucks on something with marginal gains, big difference. You can get most of the gains from just a drop in filter without having to have the MAF scaling fixed.
