They are dynamic mods. They work only at speed. Don't know what that speed is, but it ain't the static speed of ZERO sitting on a dyno.

Unless someone has taken their Viper to be dyno'd in a wind tunnel, no one is qualified to say whether they work or not.
It's easy to test. Using a Vec3, one could log several WOT pulls and analyze the data. I did this last summer with the Vipair duct and without. I saw no difference in HP/TQ but my engine was heat soaked by the time I got to logging. My air temperature was already way up there so I decided it was 'inconclusive'. All one has to do is log with the Vec3 out in the real world and I think will be a good measure for the Vipair. I only installed the Vipair 'cause I picked it up off ebay 2 years ago for $49.
