The right thing to do is continue your product development, acknowledge user concerns, and PAY visconti or fa20club or don or someone to write a tune for your airbox, and get the folks who bought your airbox a better result, build brand loyalty and forum brownie points.
You have a ripe base of testers out here, why not come up with a few different designs and send them out to see what feedback you get?
Based on your response, I would NOT buy your first generation product for a OE tune having read this thread. But this is your opportunity to earn mine and others business.Come up with something that can be proven to improve power in one area of the band, let folks know if there is a sacrifice in another, and sales can be better.
Do not tell a customer the problem wasnt replicated and expect more sales. the forum is about truth in user experience; its really not a 'sales arena' as vendors hope it to be.
For me, my money is where my mouth is and I am willing to pay for HP and improvements. so far this one is a fail.

Hello
gmookher,
I think you can tell by reading this thread that 99% of the customers are very happy and have reported Zero issues.
There are still a couple people claiming the "Bog", and as much testing as we have done with 5 different FR-S/BRZ car's and we are not able to replicate the claimed issue.
The design is very solid and works great as stated by the majority of the members here on the forum who purchased the system.
As far as the couple people still claiming to have the "Bog", how do we know there is not another underlining issue with the car?
We have offered to send Visconti a system so that he can write a Tune for it, for those that want additional performance, however the Tune is clearly not needed for the system to run properly and make power.
As you can see by the poll results, the Majority are not having issues.
7 people reported having issues who are running other aftermarket part's including a Tune, Pulley, and Cat-back.
19 People have reported ZERO issues running an Intake Only.
So again with all due respect, I am not sure if you are seeing the big picture here or not, but I think once somebody writes a Tune to accommodate the addition of the Intake, Tune, and pulley or any combination there of, then these" issues" will go away.
Thanks,
David
