Well, FWIW, my dyno results from this intake are completely different from their's. And to be honest, I think their entire methodology is less than ideal, because they didn't drive the car around for several days in between mods. This is significant, IMO, because as you probably already know, our cars adjust and learn new mods. That's one of the reasons for disconnecting the battery for each mod -- it resets the ECU and speeds up the learning process. Now, I don't want to say that 'they did it wrong' because maybe it was intentional. Like maybe they were intentionally trying to do a more clinical measurement of what these different parts do prior to ECU adjustment. If that was their intention, then what they did was perfect. But in my view, it's not real-world, because in the real world, we drive our cars and our cars adjust to the new parameters that come from new mods. Have you seen my results on this intake yet? Check out this thread if you haven't. Install of Stillen G3 Intakes complete - review, etc.

I got a net gain of 14.7whp on a Dyno Dynamics dyno (at Forged Performance).
