Sorry, just realized the site's name is spelled goofy, and not in plural form.

Advantages? No need for a throttle body elbow if you just use a 45* coupler, and there is one less potential boost leak. If I'm not mistaken they are a hair larger also. You probably won't find any HP from switching to one, but for me it was worth it just to have one less spot for a boost leak to form.
