are now posted on K&N's website, not bad gains, I wonder if the gains are similar on the 250 though? Also, wtf it's not carb exempt? BOO!

Wow, chart looks accurate enough; better than some of the others that have graced this board. And look, only 12 hp gain!
(
I guess that means Fujita F5 for me...that way I can get a good +20rwhp (intake alone), a hat, a bag, and a can "O" NOS. j/k)
Seriously the numbers and chart look good, I doubt anyone is here to pick over those details. Quite frankly, I think open discussion amongst board members helps everyone involved pick the best product suited for their need(s).
I just wish that we had less obvious fanboys pom-poming and product pumping, that would help rookies get a clearer picture of the facts.

All I have to say about the gains are to take a manufacturer's dyno plot with a grain of salt. I'm waiting for the intake comparison on the other site.

They still didn't specify whether the test was done with the hood closed, and it is still a short ram (hot air). The box covering the cone filter doesn't look like it will do much more than block radiant heat from the engine block.
I read in another thread that the stock cold air snorkel is utilized to channel cold air to the semi-enclosure, but I can't see there being enough of a seal around the enclosure to actually pull a very high percentage of air from the snorkel.

The answer to this issue is one you can prove to yourself. You don't have to take my word.
In reference to the other dyno thread, take your car up to 3000 rpm's in 3rd gear. Doesn't matter if you're in full auto or step. Mash the throttle.
I've done it several times and it downshifts every time. When you mash the throttle in that situation, the computer will automatically put you in the best gear for acceleration.

Stillen's intake for the G/Z has it right. They have the cone style filter in a sealed box similar to the stock air box. This ensures that the intake is pulling in air from outside the engine bay.
