I have no disrespect for the brand, but it looks like something you'd find on eBay, like those intercooler looking intakes years ago.
For $750, it seems like its more about having the brand label under your hood than the actual power benefit you realize. Try an openflash tablet and a k&n filter, you'll have much more enjoyable power that can be tuned for future mods.

well, if reputable companies post said dynos, or reputable third party companies perform said modification with dyno...then yes what he posts will be factual and will not need to "get on the right track"
3. IM SMARTER THAN EVERYONE!
again you don't know that. Remember dont assume things over the Internet. Makes you look like an ass.
4. Im going to put my $750 in the dumbest place possible
if you're willing to spend $750 on an intake instead of a tune then there's other intellectual problems that need to be addressed first, car knowledge to begin with

A design like this one just screams inefficiency and the price is clearly just for the brand whores to say that they have a _________ brand part on their car.
Any gains shown from this intake are most likely just due to the air filter, and in reality with the hood closed and driving, I am sure it is less efficient than almost any other intake..
But, those who wasted their money need justification lol

This @
1ofaKind is definitely a brand whore. He thinks he tracks his car means his opinion is better than ours just be cause he took his new part to the track. This kid doesnt even have a tune for his car yet and he is trying to tell us shit we already know.
Hes going to be REAL surprised when he gets a tune for his car and his tuner tells him everything we already brought up in this thread. Thats even if he gets a tune. He had enough money to get a tune or the intake and he chose the intake over the tune. Just shows what he knows. Anyone with a right mind would get a tune over an intake. A tune is the best bang for your buck for this car. A person who buys an aftermarket oiled drop in filter will make just as much gains as this intake.
This intake isnt ANYTHING different than whats already available. It isnt going to make more power just because on other platforms it does lmao. That has got to be one of the stupidest things I have heard on this forum TBH. Ya go tell people buying parts from Agency Power/Vivid Racing that their parts made power on other platforms or their VENDOR dynos show a gain. Everyone knows to take vendor dynos with a grain of salt. Guess what, their dynos all showed gains on their parts but when the customers had an indpendent dyno and tune done none of their parts came close to what they showed in their development threads/dyno's.
You havent even dyno'd your car or gotten a tune and you want us all to believe your part makes power, when we all have seen similar intakes that lose power due to heat soak. I honestly would rather use an Airaid, at least theirs is an enclosed box sucking in less hot air.
And btw this kid spent probably close to over 1 grand on his intake. He has the Arc hot air intake box AND a metal inlet carbing suction pipe that runs around 200 bucks, after tax/shipping that is probably one of the most expensive intake combinations that probably LOSES power too.. Honestly its your money but trying to convince us that you didnt waste your money on parts made for the sake of fan boys who would buy it just because of the name your kidding your self. What you get with what you spent could of been done with half that price.
