More air into the engine would transalate into more HP. Any gain is better then no gain. It's not like we got tons of parts that we can bolt on, on our D17's. No need to be picky about things that actually do come out. Im sure it's designed to give something, not rob you of your engines power. Sure..the numbers would be good, but I dont think anybody should expect their cars to reach 14's with just this bolt on. This is just base mod that will compliment other mods that are to come. Important thing is, to actually buy parts that work with each other, not against it. I think this is one of the better investments for our cars. I personally will get one, real soon. Just my 02.

yea good luck and 5PEED EX >im not really expecting huge gains and your right any gain that complments the other bolt ons is a good thing. Numbers would be nice but even a significant feel in performance would be nice to hear.

Do it yourself. It's not rocket science . But if you have no knowledge, have somebody WITH the knowledge do it for you. Much easier to pay and get it done then bust your knuckles and do it. Of course with this method, pride dosent come with it

your right but there is a smaller hose that comes off a wetal plate on the back of the case and connects into the intake manifold. its about the same size as the one that comes off the throttle body. Go to majestics site and look under "breather tube" and you will see it there.

The hose coming from the crank case has to be connected to the manifold some how. I think if you get a t-fitting and connect it to the back of the manifold where the brake boost (the top connector I think) That should be ok...I called John to ask him about that and he told me that I could just put on of those small breather filters on the end of it. but I think it has to connect to the manifold. I really suggest having a performance shop install it for you....=)

Without a dyno there is no proof that this piece of crap works. All of the gains that you "think" you feel don't mean jacksquat.

Intake doesn't cost $600.......neither did my exhaust for that matter.

And dyno testing has been done on them.

Dyno runs only cost $30 max.
