The general consensus is the stock intake is more than sufficient for our NA engine, and there are no benefits or gains to be seen from anything else.

Nothing wrong with that. A lot of manufacturers are in fact adding sound tubes to help direct induction noise to the cabin to give people a driving experience with more 'soul' or 'feel'. Personally, I think there's just as much value in making something enjoyable to drive with an intake (that gains no power) as there is in installing shifter bushings. Different strokes for different folks.

Have noticed a difference with the fuel. Went from an average of 23-24 MPG to 26-27 now since I installed the intake. Plus the rumble is awesome. As a single add on it wont do much but if you combine it with a good exhaust and a tune somewhere in the future I'm sure it will significantly help performance.

Yes there are many variables. I'm just simply stating what I found when taking a 3,000 mile average on both intakes. I still believe there is restriction with the stock box. It has chambers. I have a K&N RX-4960 filter on the intake now. It has the non restrictive top. Love it. I guess my experiences with intakes differ from that of stock.

1. Flows the max our engine can pump. Seriously if the exact same intake design works on the turbo'd cars to 400whp..... 2. OAT = IAT And I will give you 3.. 3. Doesn't sound as cool as a cone filter w/o chambering. Show me some dyno sheets proving there is a difference and I will believe you, otherwise warmer temps = better mpg hence why you see improvements. My average mpg has increased by 3mpg too in the last month and I have the factory airbox...... It's cool that you like it, but there is no way I'm going to believe that intake has done anything for hp or mpg other than change the sound |

I see your point man. I'm still in the testing phase with this thing so no hard facts yet but this is the intake thread and people on here are probably interested in updates with this thing and different opinions are shared. Eventually someone will post a dyno. We will agree to disagree for now. During the summer I'm planning on asking a friend at an auto shop to get me a readout with the stock intake on and another with this thing. I'll keep everyone posted.

Haha I'll adjust my flexible mount on there. The problem is lighting! I don't wanna drive around with my hood open. Very unsafe! So maybe I'll throw my little LED flashlight in there next to it.

It's not a Lexus, trust me, you'll hear it in the cabin.

Ya I meant from inside the cabin, under loaded conditions.
It sort of sounds like a bear vomiting in your open hood video... |

As you wish. I went above and beyond on this one and threw the go pro on in the cabin, exterior windshield and bumper directly above the exhaust. Remember 1080p and turn that bass up. Enjoy.

Nice video. Good sound. It was like watching those Russian car cam videos on YouTube, I was just waiting for someone to do something stupid.
