When the G3 was originally tested by a well-respected tuner there was a significant difference in the power produced with the bumper cover off and when it was on. I am skeptical of dyno results on intakes because you cannot reproduce highway driving and the ecu is very tempermental with rising intake temps.
So are you saying that the R2C's in the real life have no gains? loss of power?
