New intake filter (CF)
Roar Filter
They make stuff for BMW's but a filter should be universal, right? Click on the circles to get more info.

Rep Power: 528 On a Ford Focus, which is the closest to our cars out of all the ones they dynoed, they said stock it was 102HP, with AEM's intake it was 104HP, and with theirs it was 109HP. All the other cars they dynoed were like Vipers and S2000's and V6 things.
For a VW 1.8T they got:
Stock:
130 hp
Weapon R 2:
131 hp
K&N P-flow:
116 hp
ROAR Hyper Intake:
142 hp
Wow K&N made it lose 14hp
Even tho they make an S2000 filter, I think they're biased against Imports. Look at this from their SVT F150 dyno page:
...We came back on Monday, and almost lost our time due to the fact that there were these Civics with Integra Acura motors being dynoed into our appointed time. Finally after some arguing to rid the dyno of the Honda's, the Ford lightning was backed up and strapped down on the dyno.
^ which is to be translated by American and Euro owners as "haha, we're cooler than the Japanese car people, so let's buy this company's product.

Rep Power: 528 I know, right? Look at what they said about K&N here for Chrystler Sebring:
We tested a K&N too, but with respect to this company, we won't embarass themby showing their results. This is another monsterous gain from just a Roar intake
They say it gained 18hp from theirs.

Rep Power: 0 "Roar's "power to lead" successful comes from our sophisticated patent pending breakthrough intake technology. Excellent performance is required from all components , if the system as a whole is to be a success. Each part should be installed in succession and built apon a superb base of airflow.
(1) HyperFilter,
(2)Thermostate (160-180deg),
(3)NGK race Plugs, Ignition amp
(4)a recommended Exhaust,
(5)a recommended computer,
(6)Throttle body bore
(7)recommended headers,
(8)recommended turbo upgrades(9)street cams (264),
as seen in the Roar Venue. This is our professional recommendation for gaining at each level ideally without compromise. Deviating from this pattern will cause tuning dissatisfaction. "
Maybe thats how they got the numbers.. well besides from number 8.. no way would an intake give more the 7.. at most.. as for the k&n thats a damn lie and u kno it.. haha

Rep Power: 528 Well, I think I emailed them, but they don't list an email address (at least I didn't see one) but I filled out their "email form" but it said "optimized only for Netscape" or something like that and since I'm using IE I'm not sure if it went through when I hit "send." I got an error message, and then I got a thank you message, so I guess I'll check my mail and see.
