I think people wanting to see results before throwing half a G at this is fair. One comparison isn't solid enough proof of expected gains.

Bingo, and its the type of comparison that we are asking for. Again, could Akuma send a pair out to someone to do a comparison on since they cant get someone in house? I offered this to them to do a direct Stillen to Akuma 2.75" intake review but never heard back.

I have to admit this is a little surprising. We were working on an arrangement for me to do a comparison vs the NISMO R-Tune intakes as well, but after weeks of communication back and forth and a couple lengthy conversations with John @ Akuma, I got a message the other day saying I could purchase a set for $489 + shipping... The whole idea was to test them for results for the community without having to lay out $500+ of my own money, I guess maybe the price of components and labor just got to be too dear for them to afford to send out sets for testing purposes... Happens sometimes when a company is small. There may also be a communication disconnect between John and his staff, he's a super busy guy and may not have had the time to communicate all of the arrangements he had in mind to his staff.

Anyhow, I am sure we'll get some results soon from folks who have bought these intakes and that they'll be better than the Stillen units. Just have some patience guys.

Myself, I'll be engineering my own solution. Something in carbon.

I too was discussing a similar comparison for them for a discounted price on the intakes, since I have to pay for Dyno and Retune time but never heard back after a conversation or two. I have a customized Stillen intake setup. Shrug?
