Simple answer is none. the most that I've seen documented is 5HP, but that can be argued as just a tighter motor/better tune. I would stick to stock, AEM, Mazda Speed (repackaged AEM), or Racing Beat. They're the only things proven to not loose HP.

Hey guys, I have this snail looking thing in my engine bay with a pipe and a filter attached to it, I'm not sure what brand it is but do you think it's better than the stock intake? Thanks.
