Entirely true, but the only performance advantage whatsoever is weight savings. The Performer for the Chrysler is an exact dupe of the stone stock intake....and it does NOT come in a non EGR model. Not that there's anythingwrong with the stock intake design. They worked well....but if I upgrade to an alluminum intake, I'm going to upgrade to something that will actually add performance instead of just cut pounds. Know what I mean, Vern?
