"so they can sell cars" haha.. gimme a break...
We're not attacking you we're just skeptical of a manufactures dyno that shows 16+ hp with an intake. Like qtiger said there's lots of ways to make it show more power out of a dyno. Without a true dyno made by unbiased person I would never believe a manufacters number. The manufactures job is to sell, and when they advertise those charts to ricers of course theyre going to get a hard on because of it. Have fun with your mandrel bent tube and filter

They aren't going to fake something... but they're going to take the best number for the best car they tested.

Like I said earlier. I'd just wait for a turbo kit. $150-200 for a mandrel bent pipe and a filter isn't something I'd waste money on again :wiggle:

Betas are way more turbo friendly than Deltas.
