Also, there are a lot more factors in making power than just getting colder air. Increased, laminar air flow and a good MAF signal are key to making power.



Check post 116 on page 6 for a video explaining the differences.



The test driver that posted that comment was referring to the sound under light to partial throttle. At full throttle it has that deep growl that everyone likes. It sounds awesome and really wakes this engine up. Our first tester said his car felt really boring after we put it back to stock. He missed the extra power and sound! I will work on getting some video and sound clips up, but right now the intakes are out on test vehicles that I don't have access to.
As that first tester, I just wanted to chime in and say my car is STILL boring. Cant wait for the finished product to be released so I can get that intake back on.
