greddy intake coming soon

[Pscylo]

How is it going to cost power? If you gain 5-7, but end up losing 1 from sound tube delete (calling shenanigans on that btw), its still a 4-6 gain....

I guess everyone has their own reasons.

What's the benefit of dry or oiled filters?

Personally it sounds like a cow being raped by a lawnmower but each to their own.

So it's 1hp more powerful with the tube kept intact?

Currently aFe has plans to allow the sound tube duct to be cut open so there's an option for either way. I want to keep the tube because the engineers put serious thought and resources into implementing this little feature and you brought up a great point about familiarizing yourself with engine sounds. Regardless of whether it sounds good or bad, it adds character to this car and is part of its unique experience. I'd choose that over +/- 1hp.

Alternative: close off the intake and leave the sound tube open the entire engine bay. HEAR ALL THE NOISES.

1hp is within the margin of error so its not even worth mentioning.

I just want to get rid of it because its unnecessary and looks ugly IMO.

i'm in the same boat, i've just always been a greddy fan so of course initially i'm opting for the greddy branded version... but i may end up just removing the "brand" label/stick in the future if possible to give it a more low profile OEM look (well more than it already does)

Yeah from the OP and again a few posts below that. But this isn't the final product, I believe.
