I think a truely more interesting experiment would be to determine how much time and money have been wasted on this.

Or better yet, the "tuner" drops a screw inside the new intake.... where did that little thing go... no matter. He fires up the motor with his new high tech intake mod, the motor ingests the screw, it gets jammed in cyl #2 intake valve, piston goes TDC, valves bend and pistons break. True story if you substitute "Honda" for "Porsche".
YMMV
