Toad??  Wow, that took some thought.  Tell me something, when you think this 
hard, since your head is in your ass ... do you fart??

All for me?? Awww :-)  I feel so damn special.

Any idiot can spend money on a product, or make a modification that he/she 
thinks will work, only to imagine the gains that never really came about.  
Too many times people think they "feel" more horsepower, but it's either 
just some fantasy to help from feeling utterly stupid or some creative 
wishes based on enhanced sound, much like the newly aquired intake roar you 
so galantly speak of.

Umm ... airflow??  You never see airflow in the real world??  As far as most 
people not being as anal as me ... no, maybe not ... but now you feel like 
condemning me because I'm enthusiastic about all things related to vehicular 
performance??

Hey, Dr. Dumbass ... and where the hell do you think you get the air from 
after you've sucked all the air out from inside the fender?  At highway 
speeds, the low pressure created around the outside of your car will draw 
air out from anywhere it can, engine bay included.  And a fan blowing on the 
front of a vehicle??  What don't you get about this??  At a standstill, with 
no fan, there would be no moving air to simulate the vehicle actually moving 
moron.
