Actually it depends upon the car.
For the 05+ cars, a CAI makes a huge difference which is why most of them REQUIRE a tune.

For the 99+ 2V cars it seems like looks only.

+1, it really depends on the car. And really the main reason it makes sucha difference on the 05+ is that stupid vapor trap that ford installed, its very restrictive.
