dynoing an intake is, well, useless
an intake shootout? to show what? who makes the most hp while sitting still with a hood open? How on earth is that telling you anything
Just like on the DE, the intake is the absolute least important part of the car...don't get stressed out over which performs best, none of them will truly amount to anything meaningful

It's pretty hard to talk an Entrepreneur out of packaging $100 worth of materials into a box and selling it for $400...

one breather mod usually doesn't do much...an intake alone, an exhaust alone, a header alone...
but couple an intake, spacer, cams, headers, hiflo cats/tp, exhaust WITH a tune ie FCON/Re-flash...then you'll have great gains.
one mod is only one piece of a puzzle.

The only way to prove an intake's worth is on the drag strip.

Every time you remedy a restriction, something else becomes the new weakest link. As the exhaust, TP, and HFC dyno numbers come in it seems like the the exhaust system has quite a few power inhibiters. It might be interesting to see the what the intakes do when added to a car with a free flowing exhaust...Still, I bet a K&N drop in and an airbox mod will end up being the the way to go (unless you need the sound).
