it makes a less torturous path for the air to get from your air filter to your intake ports. The easier the air flows, the less the engine has to work to suck in that air. therefore some of the power that was once used to pull air in, is now used to turn the wheels.

same thing with the exhaust. With a free flowing exhaust, the engine uses less of its power to push the exhaust gasses out.

The CorkSport is similiar to a Apex'i N1 exhaust, but louder, a little raspier and cheaper. If you get the apex'i, you get the brand name and performance
