I don't understand why people make such a big deal out of it. Most of them will never see a track. I go to the 1/8th Mile track every friday, and like I said previously, I still kill every stock mustang and even some modded ones. And that's completely stock with ONLY the NISMO intakes (more mods coming soon). So honestly, unless you are a hardcore race guy where 1-2 HP will matter, I wouldn't listen to the naysayers.

How are rims that are described as being "super-lightweight" big and heavy?
I'm not really a naysayer, I'ts just pretty bad to pay $400+ for looks and a different sound and no extra power even thought nismo claims 10 extra hp with their intakes. To each is own.

Hi folks,

Same here, I'm not against aftermarket CAI systems. I'm just against the ones that say they are when they are not. A shield between a filter and the engine does not make a cold air intake. Unless the system is drawing its air exclusively from in front of the radiator it is not a cold air system. You would think the people at Stillen would know that. I do. How come they don't?
