Any other Intakes other than Stillen and Injen?

I certainly agree with Modshack. The numbers that were just posted for the Stillen show the problem he is talking about. The intake loses power and torque from 1500 to about 3500 and really only starts to gain power above 6500. When Mike Kojima (a well-respected Nissan tuner) tested the Stillen G3 on an automatic the same problem was noted. Also, testing any intake with the hood open will skew the results one way or the other. With the hood open you are receiving air of a different temperature and getting it from a different location than you would when driving. Frankly, the only definitive idea I have taken from the intake threads is Modshack's Fang Vent which delivers the coolest air available to an intake mounted near the oem one. I have an RC2 on order and hope in combination the the MFV may provide some nice gains. However, even this might prove very difficult to test on a dyno.
