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.

Rep Power: 375 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.

Rep Power: 0 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

Rep Power: 323 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.

Rep Power: 413 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.
