Well lets start with the noise (music to us!) from the air intake system
this would not be acceptable to non-gearhead types, so they put on an
air intake that quiets the sound, which also flows so poorly that a bigger
TB wouldn't do anything anyway. Now the exhaust, ditto on the noise
thing. So if you enjoy the sound of an unrestricted DAK, than you can
enjoy better performance, and gas milage!
(this is all speculation)
