Seems to me that you and 2forme have uncovered a complete conspiracy in the automotive community! Intakes are a total scam and anyone that puts one out is just trying to get people to hand over their cash by putting out a product that makes cool noises.

We should start getting the word out immediately. I'll start by emailing all of the aftermarket retailers and tell them to pull every intake from their product list and tell them if they have any questions, see Foobar and 2forme at ft86club.com and they will explain everything.

(for those of you watching this thread, this is the part where either Foobar or 2forme will come out, say "that's not what I meant" and "this <insert brand of intake> is better than <insert brand of intake>" or "<insert brand of intake> are a total rip off.")
@Foobar, looks like we have a fan .

You're putting context in our mouths that never existed. I never said there was a conspiracy. Believe me, Airaid isn't the first manufacturer/vendor to post results that don't resemble real world testing, or that have been.... exaggerated a little.

No, I won't tell you one intake is better than the other. Because, after a tune, they all perform within a couple HP of each other anyway. The difference really is how hot the air being consumed is. Without a tune, however, is a different story.

Look, you can cop the little attitude all you want. How many intakes have you independently tested? More than myself? Please, paste the links to all your unbiased reviews and tests. I don't really care which intake comes out on top anyway, as it will be useless for my goals. I just happen to like the 86 and want people to have real information available so that they may make their own, *gasp* educated choice.
