Power difference? probably not much in it. Can't see it being more than a few ponies and torques on any of them.

seems like my dyno guy dropped off the planet. I have another dyno scheduled at the other dynojet I did my first baseline at next thursday.
Also, I went to pull the vid off my camera....it was not there, perhaps I did not press record.
And lastly, my mileage has finally rebounded to where it was before the intake test...some 2500 miles later. Pretty weird. Next dynos will be with AFR.
If anyone still wants either of these intakes I will give you the best price I can. It would be nice to get some of the testing dollars back

The physics is probably a bit complicated, but when I think about the surface area of the filter and any vacuum effect of the design to suck/push air through the throttle, it seems to suggest the amount of airflow from the takeda/injet kits and the OE intake wasn't much different.
There is the bling effect of the aftermarket kits; they can look visually pleasing or produce different sound characteristics--intake and exhaust sounds--more the latter...

i anpplaud Figs' efforts. his comparison is not a perfectly designed scientific study, but it was enough for me to put back my stock system.

Having said that it does not mean everybody else should think the same way we do just because some people buy it because of the way it sounds or the way it looks.
Once upon a time I thought that way about car mods so I do have the perspective on why some here do it for those reasons.

You and I think the same on this one.

great to hear it, hopefully finally we get to see a video,and not just promises.
I've just purchased an Injen (powder coated black) intake.. I'm going to take some pics and give my hp increase/decrease opinion as soon as I recieve, and will also post a video for all to see.. I too have been waiting 5 freaking months for a video of INJEN.. and I've got nothing to show for it so I've given in and ordered my own, brand spaking new.. I've been talking to some shops about how to increase the power on an open filter like this, one mentioned, and said they have done one F like this before, putting a hole in the engine bay the size of a softball right under the filter and create some sort of duct in the bumper area to draw in the cool are from below. Seems like a great idea, and Im going to be the first to try, or F*** up my car completely and totally regret it!
