they allow more air in the plenum to be stored so more access for the throttle bodys for aint i supose, hence they make the car a little leaner, but dont quote me

Depends on what plenum you have on the car to start with....

The restriction is in the ELBOW on a standard 2wd / 4x4 plenum cover.

Ryan,
No, the EECIV plenum is the best and will flow enough air for 500bhp (which is why I have one on my car... ).
