I have the Cold Air Inductions as well with the TB spacer. I like it and have noticed a nice improved sound, at least to my ears and looks nice. As far as power, I haven't tested or anything like others have, but the car seems to feel peppier and more grunt.

AFE also makes power and would be my 2nd choice. Haven't tested any others.
Thanks for the head-to-head testing! Our system has consistently shown great performance on the street and dyno!

There has been a lot of back and fourth which will be better for you but don't take my word for it, just my own opinion and input here.
Thank You! We are glad that you like our system!

Maybe 1 or 2 will give you peanut gains with a green filter. There are so make many exaggerated gains from happy dynos and shills promoting another company's products that you're never going to get an honest answer. Also, if an air intake is all you're going to do because you care about keeping your warranty, watch and see what happens to this guy...are a couple rwhp really worth it to you?

Even with FI you don't need one. With proper tuning you'll hit fuel delivery limitations before you can make use of the extra air being delivered. All in all, it's really unnecessary and your money is better spent elsewhere.

We did back to back testing within a very brief window of time on PRAY's car comparing stock to RF one day on the dyno while we were testing out some other items. A cold air intake is absolutely worth it as you start deviating from a bone stock engine. FI dyno results have already shown significant gains with the RF unit.

If you are bone stock it may not be the best use of $. After that it is a must have item if you are trying to maximize the gains. No question about that.

There's plenty of variables that can come in to play on a dyno, so I trusted the track. I made 30+ passes this year bone stock, and the 1st pass I had the intake on, it dropped my ET .08 (I was struggling to find hundredths for months).

I think this is the BEST thread for an intake yet,these are actual numbers not tested from a computer and Personally I think that some people have something to GAIN , by always putting down the other intakes. These are TRACK RESULTS REAL WORLD ENUFF SAID. And besides that, people say that the GM intake is the air intake from cold air inductions. You see no other intake company doing Real world, which is all that matters.

If it's on the internet it's got to be true!

...actually, looks like the RF intake bumped me up another 12 hp and tq
