Trust me they do. If you are getting more airflow into them, then it is coming from somewhere. They take air away from the radiator, but until someone data logs and quantifies the difference we won't know.

You may get mixed reviews, but a lot of people (including me) believe that scoops aren't really good for much except bringing in a lot more dirt. Panel filters get dirty much quicker and cars with DCI get a lot more dust in the engine compartment. For the negligible gain it isn't really worthwhile.
