I don't know if the S-bolt would be enough to register on a butt dyno, or
even a real dyno, but just by looking at it you can tell it disturbs airflow
into the TB. S-bolts are easy to build with only one documented casualty to
date. And the stock bracket is... well it's stock! When talking about
performance "stock" is a four letter word.... well almost, ok five but you
know what I mean. FWIW the s bolt that is provided with the K&N kit is VERY
secure.
