996 RSS Intake Plenum?

I saw an ad in a magazine and then checked their website, they claim to make 25 more hp out of their Intake Plenum. They don't have a dyno to support their claim (at least not on the website). Does anyone have one? Is it possible to get that much power out of an intake plenum?

deputydog dynoed the part and came back with good power gain results.

Do not buy this product, seriously.......it only enhances a 996 and you will not be happy......especially if you have EVOMS and any other mod.
Funny my dealership now recommends these to every 996/997 owner
