Go back and look at my dyno thread. Between the K&N and smooth intake tubes I picked up easily in the 10 -12 range total.
I've also seen dynos where the change from G3's is less than 10 whp. Then there's at least one member who gained a whopping 12 whp just from the smooth intake tubes (part of this, is that the first breather mod always seems to make a little extra than the same mod would added later).
In any case, it's not the raw values that matter, it's the % improvement from baseline that matters.
Anyway -- this is why I'd like to see a back to back comparison, same car, same dyno.
If you feel there's no question, and I'm just off base, then don't worry about what I have to say on the matter.

Sure, why not? Why is the burden of proof on the consumer? Why bother to show gains over stock?
I am not the first person who has made the case for the OEM airbox+high flow filters+ smooth tubes -- I'm just going on data.
Anway, I am completely confident that your intake performs better than a SRI and better than the OEM airbox with a paper element. I have no interest in making you feel bad about your purchase.
What I don't want to see are people shelling out over $500 bucks for something that may not be worth it.
But you are right -- in the end, they can decide for themselves. I'm just putting this out there as food for thought.
Anyway, I've said my peace. If no one agrees or cares, so be it -- I'll shut up
