Hi 4IG

Looks like a great buy.
Have you ever shipped to Japan? Could you PM details of how I can obtain one?
Thanks

15 hp is a huge estimate. I was thinking maybe 2hp if that and I doubt any torque gains regardless of what AEM says.

I have AEM CAI. Sometimes I feel like the power thrust/response is greatly increased, sometimes I feel a decrease. Must be my mentality. Anyway, the thing is TOO DAMN LOUD for my taste. I like the quietness of the stock engine. That is why I'll never get exhaust systems.

we dynoed about 10HP and 12 pounds of torque on ours. If you are going for all show i would suggest a Mugen or J's.

I guess you tried to scan dyno sheets, but nothing popped up. I'd like to see dyno sheet as well as engine bay pic and pic of product before install and I will consider buying. Jeff

We baselined at 189.0 HP with 124.7 Torque
We then put on our intake pipe and used the original filter we planned on selling, the Greddy foam filter.
After the install we got:
194.0HP torque 133.4


Later the following week our K&N filters came in. We put the car back on the dyno runing about 8 degree colder that day on the same type of Dyno, Dynojet and got
198.4HP 138.1 Torque




Why do the Dyno charts look different? we used two different shops, both using the exact same dyno but different software so our calibrations should be close.
here is the pic of it installed
