search buttons at the top.. this ques has been asked a bunch lately.

but u get no HP gains.. only a better BOV type sound. a custom one is ideal and run u around $130. If you buy a kit one, it's like $300 somthing and ot worth it.. u get no gains.

Very true. I see where people are coming from when people say the intake gives 0 or very little HP but nobody can back up that statement with hard facts.

yeah, but both dyno's would have to be done under the exact same conditions or the numbers would not be accurate, so unless someone buy's an intake, does a dyno pull, swaps out the intake, and does another pull, we'll never know for sure
