Its better because the airbox bends are eliminated. Stick the head on the flowbench and lets say it flows 125cfm with valve at full lift . Now add the intake manifold , bent plastic pipes that lead to the airboxes/carbs and bolt it to the head whilst its under flow test.. The flow has now dropped to 100cfm as air flow does not like bends. The shorter straighter velocity stack kit only chops off about 5cfm in total giving more flow and power. The kit also shortens the tuned length of the intake system improving top end. Avoid fitting just a pod filter on the back of the throttle body . You will get a large loss. The intake /velocity stacks are important and serve more than one purpose . I think benno made his own - give us pictures
