There are a lot of reasons why this is not true. Safety, warranty, target market, emissions all keep car companies from extracting every possible ounce of performance from a given car.

That being said, I would like to know how the OP knows exactly what the horsepower and torque change is from this. I hope the numbers are true, that'd be sweet.

The stock intake already seems very open, I don't see how this one can make that much difference.

Mine was suppose to have gotten here Friday, but for some reason UPS got lazy and rescheduled for Monday, Ill see how that goes once thats put on.

people need to stop believing vendors claims and do some independent testing..... Regardless, happy you are enjoying your intake.

I would guess that this system provides not more than +5hp. Not saying it's bad, but of all restricted areas, the intake on this car isn't bad at all. I would imagine that the different throttle response feel makes the car feel far more powerful than the numbers actually indicate. I would love to see an intake make that much power though, if true I would be happy and pick this one up without hesitation.

Well i really don't believe the manufactures claims, but im thinking it bumps the Hp up 5-9 hp and 4-7lb of torque. But im going to dyno my car, when i find a dyno shop with the OEM Intake and this injen one.

Even if you look at the vendors graph you will notice that there is power loss through a large portion of the power band. Then when close to red line it switches over and you gain slightly. So you loose down low and gain a few up top.
Then you also have to deal with throttle lag and bogging when driving at normal speeds.

Injen dynos with the hood up

Got my Injen intake today, and resetted my ECU by disconnecting the neg terminal on my battery. let me just say it takes a couple of minutes to read back the map, and lil by lil it starts feeling a little better, a lil more responsive but not really noticeable. I really do need to dyno a before and after.

But I can say it picks up to the 3 digits a LITTLE quicker.

do I need to do anything to the ECU after installations ?

The original post sounds like an ad.

There's no point in buying an intake without a tune for it.

You can get the same performance by buying an aftermarket air filter and putting it in the stock intake. Believe it or not but the stock intake is good. Change the filter.

Buy the tuning kit and wait to see who makes the best intake based on the tuned results. Save your money. Also , do the same with the exhaust and wait. The cost of an intake is 33% the cost of the tuning kit.

I bought the Visconti ECUtek tuning kit and I'm waiting for it to ship.

I just installed my injene air intake but now my check engine light is on and the codes won't erase, they say permanent?

[Vukodlac]

Yep, I couldn't agree more. I'm happy with my K&N Filter for now.
