Dyno on G37 Stillen G3 vs. RC2

I hope the filters are actually filtering out particles on that intake, I mean an intake design can only get you so much airflow, it's gota be the filter.

edit: and if it is the filter, one could just purchase it separately?

It's doubtful it's all in the filter...The stock intake system is really not that restrictive. Most of the gains come from improving flow, (lose the accordion), Intake plenum size (Make the pipes between filter and TB larger) and Tube diameter at the MAF (larger is leaner = more power)

i guess so....why not....
they must filter particles or the military would be in trouble

Curious to know...what's your reasoning for chosing the R2C over the Stillen?

I'll talk for him lol.
like he had mentioned many times in the past.
stillen uses oiled filters and nogood doesn't like them.
R2D2 here makes Dry Filters

and they come in black chrome

In theory, if the intake temps are the same, shouldn't a short ram intake like this R2C one out-perform similar long-tube intakes, like the Stillen? I just assume a short-ram, direct path style intake would offer less resistance to flow. Isn't that why drag racers just using individual throttle bodies with no intake at all?

I do not want oiled filters and from all I read the R2C filters are the best.
