    As previously noted the intake is a compromise of performace, cost, and "comfort", so yes, they would put a restrictive intake on it if it was quiet and cheap.

    EDIT: And you want to talk about GM "engineering"? I have two words for you COOLANT ELBOWS.

    I ran a few intakes.

    TDC FWI, TDC short ram/hot air, Open cone, ZZP CAI. Oh and stock then modified stock.

    No real difference except when I went from a small beat up K&N filter to a rather large Amsoil filter.
