Ah, this harkens me back to the Ken Wilfy thread about the aftermarket rear
side vents with little scoops increasing horsepower!  Seems someone got the
place into an uproar about whether the extra air flow to the engine would
increase hp output.  Have no idea who could have participated in throwing
fuel on the flames.  He didn't mean to suggest you would gain hp by buying
these side vents -- all he meant was every little bit of ram air helps --
but somehow I found the whole thing amusing.  (Imagine that)  : )
