Id like to see the schematics and diagrams of Contenders (Injen, Stillen, HKS, Tanaka etc.) All laid out side by side and have measurements taken of the exhausts...
Basically every facet that might have some bearing on overall performance gain.

I can't speak personally as I do not know each of their engineers, but to say this one individual has done the impossible with less and created something stellar...
Kinda sounds like a lot of smoke puffing.

So TS is a good well respected name. OK
They have made very good looking and JDM parts. OK
They have been around with this car and done their work and created what they believe is the by far best all around intake. OK

How? What have they done different than the others?

What is the filter made from? What is its filtration ability compared to the HKS or Takada, both being SR Intakes as well...

How have they counteracted the thermal variance taking air from inside the engine bay, yet gain more than an intake bringing in cooler air?

Do they have some secret to designing the piping to make the air do something inside the pipe similar to what Weapon-R does with their intakes?

I understand you can have a dyno that says we produce more... But simply saying it is one thing. But where is the science/fact/testing to back it up?

By no means is this against Swat in any way. I see since you sell alot of TS/Mines parts, you guys know what your doing.
I'm just looking for some data here to beef up the claims.
