I have to amend my earlier conclusions abut the G3's now that I've had a better look at a closer comparison.
There's a few other variables still at play (e.g., different exhausts), but overall, up top gains were indeed significantly higher (8-10!) at best, which is a LOT better than I had thought. Differences are lesser throguhout most of the rev range, but at peak, it definitely outperforms the factory airbox with panel filters. Average differences over sucessive runs were closer to what I had expected, but comparing best to best runs, the G3's definitely win. I sitll think the price difference (over $500 new) makes it a bit iffy if you don't have the cash, but if you can find them for $350 or less used/on sale, I think it's definitely worth it.

Unfortunately it wasn't a pefect comparion, because the other car has a few different items than mine (e.g., his Berk CBE may outerform my Weldina), so it may not have been 100% due to the intakes. If I can find a set cheap I think I'll do the swap just to see exactly how much of a difference when absolutely everything else is held as constant as possible. I still think bang for the buck the tubes and filters win, but found on sale, the G3's are the way to go. I updated my dyno thread with details and new charts.
