I'll talk for him lol.

stillen uses oiled filters and nogood doesn't like them.
R2D2 here makes Dry Filters and they come in black chrome

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

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?

curious to see the dyno results for the r2c. on that dyno sheet on the first page it seems like its just as good if not, even better than the g3's. i thought cai > sri hmm. in for the results.
