Thank you SRT for making such a sweet intake!

Also if that chart is correct, which I highly doubt in real life situations, it doesn't seem to lose low end torque at all. From that chart, it seems like it's increased throughout the WHOLE rpm range.
But of course if you noticed, they are comparing pull #1 with pull #4. I'm sure they did a bunch of pulls, and picked the lowest (which they put as "stock") and the highest (which they put as "srt intake").

There is a guy on this forum, I can't remember his name, that dynoed back to back and picked up 27whp with the srt intake and around 35lb tq. I can't remember exact numbers but It was within a few hp and tq that I have here. He has dyno sheets to back it up on the same dyno on the same day. Anyone here know who I'm talking about? I wish I could remember his name

why not? the gs4 has a redline indicated at 6500 on the stock tach, quite inaccurate, these cars are overengineered, you can usually rev a little past the redline without a problem.
On my prelude the redline was indicated around 7500 or so if i remember correctly, but I could redline it to 8k no problem (as it indicated on the stock tach, so not the most accurate).

No, absolutely no. I never expected dramatic HP increase with any Intakes avalible on market. You have to remeber there is/was couple factors you never asked, like outside/inside conditions, fuel, dyno brand etc.
There is not much to argue about, because gain generated by adding intake might be simply lost somwhere due to different:
Wheels
Fuel
Dyno
Milage
Oils/Fluids
Conditions
Additional mods
I posted on this topic few times already and i still belive SRT intake is for:
*Good sound
Good look
Questionable power increse
You keep it, as long as you like it...i guess
2xSRT Intake price=used LSD unit (much more feelable
)
P.S. Personally i think there is problem with material used to built SRT, too much metal used, too much heat distibution. But its my theory.....

)I'm setting my money on the side for the K&N intake though.

That looks right, I have personally seen a car dynoed back to back without being unstrapped and pick up 25hp with the srt intake. I don't know why people hate on it so much, it has proven to make power on every car that has dynoed before and after that was in good mechanical order otherwise. For the price of the intake for the average person you can be assured you are going to make power. Why bother messing with a differnt intake that isn't proven, then installing an Afc and then dyno tuning it, your going to spend more money in the end.
