my car was done in front of me with the garage door closed with a fan blowing than ran again with the door open allowing the colder (winter air) to come into the bay. also my car was driven in between the mod swap outs pior to dynoing (cuz they were tryn to find why my engine was choking) according to the numbers on my car (since we are talkign about accords not civics) i was able to see that the AEM was far better than the stock intake system, stock intake system w/ no res. and a k&N drop, better than a generic short ram, DC short ram and a generic intake. if i remember correctly the AEM came 1st, followed by the DC short RAM, then the K&N, then the gen. CAI and so on. not that it mattered my readings on why my car was choking was a sensor not reading the amount of air flow correctly.. hence the choking feeling of the car..
so basically, what you're saying is that you're basing your opinion off of differences in dyno runs that a)were not in a controlled environment or b) done identically.
you guys believe what you want to. but the same diameter mandrel bent pipe is the same diameter mandrel bent pipe. differences in bend angles, etc... may make about a 1/4 horsepower difference at the very most.
