    Not trying to throw curb ball but didn't someone do a write up and said they dropped like 3 MPG installing an intake? Engine bay looks good BTW/ Keep us updated!

    Yeah, the "evidence" is all over the board on these types of air intake systems. At this point I am skeptical about gains until I can see some empirical evidence. They do look good though!

    hehe, funny you mention this. I thought about getting a Green hose couple months back and actually found a decent priced one here. When I contacted @Burna J via private message, he directed me to this thread here. I concluded after a month of research, it's a cosmetic upgrade and nothing more. But it won't stop me from buying it in the future ;)

    Yeah, the empirical evidence I saw was on a LS-2 Corvette with OEM intake and famous maker aftermarket air intake. Tests were performed on a dyno under controlled conditions by a third party. OEM intake preformed better......and the replacement filters cost less!

    I don't have any problem with adding $300 of bling to the engine compartment. I may even do it myself someday. But I won't do it expecting any performance gain, hp or mpg.

    I had an Injen CAI on my 04 VW GLI. Never felt like I had any gains, but wow it made that turbo spool sound a lot louder :LOL:

    Fairly new but no. I chose this picture so it's not so obvious.
