I bet you 80% of time people who buy aftermarket CAI end up putting them up for sale in a few months? why because they wake up and see they lost $500-600 on something that only looks good and gives more sound!

Unless you are tracking your car and running near 6500Rpm with CAI you would get more topend power.

But that's it!

My intakes are gorgeous compared to stock. They sound much better than stock at 4K+ RPMs. The R2C filters are significantly better performing filters than OEM. I put the car on a dyno after the install, but I don't have a baseline to compare them to stock. Thus I don't have any numbers to claim, and I honestly don't even care. Please try again to explain to me why the stock intakes are so much better...

Your arguments are terrible generalizations with no evidence, and therefore invalid and baseless, as well as stupid

You do understand that dry paper filters are better at keeping more fine dust out of the intake system? you can't have highflow and dirt holding at 99%..

Most aftermarket filters are at 98-97% dirt holding.

Bob the oil guy did some testing on 5 filters and all of them let in more dirt then OEM!

Really? lol... How about you go do some research on R2C filters before you even start this conversation
