Also (and this is purely for educational reasons), these look very similar in design to the Stillen Gen3 intakes. What about your design makes your intakes better than the Stillens (other than the price of course)? I'm not trying to start a Stillen vs Akuma war, just trying to compare features. They look really nice

I apologize I realize that can be a little confusing. The comparison we have is Johns 370z with just the Invidia catback which was rated at 272whp and then We added our intakes to the mix and saw a 20whp increase to 292whp while also seeing 12ft lbs of torque increase as well. I hope that answers your question

As far as design goes they are similar in some aspects. Where we made a difference is, our MAF sensor placement is a little bit different as well as there are no reducers to increase turbulence. These intakes are also made so that they can be removed very quickly without removing the bumper or anything else thats time consuming, they can literally be in and out of the car in minutes which is very convenient.
