RE: rubber intake tube
the stock rubber intake tube has ribs on it, which is said to cause turbulance...which is said to have a negative effect on performance. of course a strait/smooth intake/pipe would get rid of the turbulance, for better/smoother air flow. its not going to feel like you slapped a supercharger on there, if you chage it....but every little bit helps. plus it looks a ton better. the JLT intake pipe is 4 inches in diameter, to give you an idea of what to purchase. it does come with these little reducer pieces to make it fit to the throttle body tho. that part might be kinda hard.
