From what I have seen on both the dyno and the track.

SRT removes power and JoeZ gives you some.

LexISguy why don't you see for yourself. Go dyno your car now with the SRT intake, remove it and drive around for a week and then go back again. You'll have your answer.

Yeah, you keep asking the same thing and promise that you'll dyno your car soon. There are many shops in the area that have dynojets, I've already done 9 pulls and will add 3 more as soon as I get my JoeZ intake.

Default K&n

This K&N is new right? The one before was a drop-in filter that actually dropped a few horsepowers?

It shows an increase of 28 horsepower on their dyno... Is that reliable? I don't wanna drop $321 on something they might be fibbing about

28 hp sounds too good to be true, and probably is. Be the 1st to try it and give us the scoop!

K&N might just gain the same horsepower as the JoeZ intake. btwanky dyno it when you install.

Sounds good to be true I do not believe those gains.

K&N shows peak gain which is not the real gain over the stock peak power.

In other words not much power is being gained. The JoeZ is a better value.
