Thanks again for the info... Just so I have my Nerd to Geek translator working correctly ...
The air mod increases air flow, but the stock pipes will restrict the flow through the engine. Even if the mod allows more air to be drawn in, it won't because the engine can't "push it out" fast enough. Allowing the engine to draw more air may result in a little, if any, improvement to performance, but will make the stock system a little louder.
The resistor mod is similar, but replace "air" with "fuel", and tell the same story (more or less). Since the stock pipes are so restrictive, adding more fuel (even with additional air available) won't improve performance, and could possibly cause the engine to run rich.
Please excuse the slowness, I is a Network guy and sometimes words go by too fast

Sounds like I may be out the $1.07 for the resistors, but the air mod itself might be worth it for the noise
