Congrats murray. Its amazing how you gain that much WHP even though you already have an after market intakes. I can just imagine that you probably would have gained 20 whp over stock intakes.
Nice to see you found someone too get them made for you. Sorry I couldn't meet up and get them made like we talked about.
Anyway take it a step further and do 3.5" intakes that's where i'm betting the real gains are. that 14 over stock could become 25+
After all im running a 4" lol the FWD guys been running larger intakes for years now, just now the RWD ppl are seeing the light.

Lol you guys are going to laugh. ****ing got an hour of the way home and bobby calls me to tell me I left my laptop and phone charger at the shop. So I'll have to get it tomorrow hopefully. Anyways, I don't have any videos because I loaded them ontop my laptop.
However I have this picture of the gains/dyno graph of the before/after.
Came in and threw it on dyno with stillen intakes. Hit 285/257 consistently (again, power drop expected with 3.9 final drive)
After hours and hours of tweaking/tuning I left out of there with 299/267 consistent runs.
I am very happy. But this absolutely can't be done at all without towing your car to the tuner, or doing the scaling/tuning yourself (for the people who may see this thread and not be aware)
Anyways, I apologize for leaving my laptop like a dumbass, so no videos yet, but here is the picture of both graphs overlapped.

Just imagine what some long tubes and cams would do... Might be closing in on top na z 
at least a 100hp per liter. You those two items could make 33hp? I guess there's still the tb and im.

This is awesome. I'm getting ready to order up some Tomei 272's with springs and retainers. I may do this at the same time. 14whp from such a simple mod is serious. I have PPe's also. I may have missed it Bmurray, do you?

Awesome man!
So more air more power fact proven again! Does this also show a short ram intake style out doing a long tube?
Does my quick doodle make sense? I'm ready to PayPal you right now to make this for me! An aluminum 3" pipe long enough to mate to the gen 2 stillen/injen long tube intake along with the tb silicone hoses!
With those huge cones in the bay, would be kinda hard to box them up? Super awesome stuff again and props for venturing into the wild for us HR guys!

Now that you mention it I'm second guessing the short ram setup when long tubes are possible but I wonder if you'd get enough of a gain to make it worthwhile to fab it up.
Hell, you could probably just custom fab an entire long tube setup and sell your old injen intake. You'd just need to be prepared for a ground up retune.

Aren't the Injens and gen 3's a 2.5 inch system? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose? Or does it only matter if the maf is 3 inches?
