This design isn't too different from the gruppe m x revolution and toms carbon fiber intake that costs 1-2k. Just a smaller
Filter and one less intake duct. I wouldn't be surprised if the gains were somewhat similar to what those 2 intakes do. 15 whp is kind of over doing it but we won't know until someone buys one and tests it out. But if this intake performs better than grim speed and afe/Gredddy intake I wouldn't mind spending a little more for this than those 2 intakes

I have ordered one but it will take some time to get to Oz but I wouldn't be surprised if it could get 15hp as the stock design is very limiting at the top end

Upload them to imgur.com instead. They don't have a size limit there.

water

So I called Injen and they have a rain guard offered with the following qualifications.

Caution: The installation of this rain guard does not protect the
engine from ingesting water during heavy rain fall or floods. The rain
guard will help deflect direct rain from entering the Injen Ram Air
inlet during light rain fall. Injen Technology Ram Air Intake Systems
should be removed in wet climate conditions. Failure to comply with
the above warning may cause water to be absorbed into the engine
through the Intake System causing serious engine failure. Injen
Technology assumes no liability for damages to your engine due to
water entering your engine through the Injen Technology Intake System.

So this implies that even with the rain guard, it is hazardous to use in heavy rain.

They are covering their butts, I have this intake unless you submerge the snorkel you are fine. If you are really worried you can put a drainage hole in corner of the intake but I didn't bother.

Mini review for peeps, I have this intake with the ACE CS400, its a very nice packing, the car super response and very torquey.

Cons, not the best designed to fit easily since you have to remove the bumper support bar, the snorkel going behind the crash bar isn't the most efficient setup, Greddy snorkel is much better and finally if Injen are reading this thread gauge is a waste of time!.

Is there really anything to gain by improving airflow to a stock motor? The thing doesn't breathe that hard
