It does. You missed what they said on HP TV. Do to the exhaust Plumbing there is a 1PSI LOSS through the entire system. But do to the extended length of intake pipe intake charge is cooled bringing up 50HP@ WOT. They try to sell the HP loss as a toss up, but a 1PSI loss could be up to 75HP on a V8. They shouldn't try to sell it as a 50HP gain through cooling the intake charge since it's not, it's just increased AE efficiency that would of normally been reduced without intercooling. Then again they are trying to sell a turbo system...LOL
