In the end, I think the only reason it makes that much power is because of the open hood and much leaner AFR curve.
And how many runs did you do of each setup? I'm assuming you picked the best runs for both stock and each intake?

As stated, all testing was done on a bone stock FRS, and all runs were recorded with the hood open, fan(s) on. Cars were @ operating temp before each run. Each intake test had an average of 4 - 6 runs. I had quite a few more runs with the AiRaid one since I thought we had missed something...

I don't know how they could mess that up, but I'm with you - no issues with the Injen here...yet. I dare say those Injen numbers seem 'legit' since it did feel significantly better (though not as smooth) when I was driving it around the street and freeway.

Don't you mean susceptible?

That's great, but I leave that to the intake manufacturers ~ after all, they're judged by the end result - and based on their collective performance at the end of the dyno run...
