Agreed. But if the issue is restricted airflow, it’s a worthwhile solution as it nearly doubles the inlet area the engine sees. If it’s isn’t I don’t see how adding a Cali inlet will help either.

If the Cali inlet is in two separate pieces and uses two of the Maser TBs the inlet area the “engine” sees remains unchanged. Because each cylinder isn’t constantly drawing air you have to look at what each cylinder sees. So on a v8 on a single say 50mm throttle body each cylinder will see a 50mm TB. Changing to two separate inlets for each bank each on a 50mm TB, each cylinder still only sees a 50mm TB. The usual advantage of separate TBs is a more direct inlet tract but the Cali one doesn’t look great.
