Hello All,

Just a heads up, as promised we are going to the Dyno today, sorry for the delay, our parts were held up but have arrived. We will be dynoing the car today with the Stillen Intake as requested, as well as the Top Secret Intake, same dyno, same day, same car. As soon as we get back and get all the media together, we will make sure its posted!!!

Will heat be an issue long term?

Well, we were so surprised by the first results that showed the Top Secret intake won, that as soon as the technician got back to the dealership (approximately 30 minutes of a mix of stop-n-go and freeway driving) we asked him to turn around and go back to run the test again to confirm. That's an hour of driving and plenty of heat before a second set of runs that confirmed the initial findings -- in 10 degrees warmer ambient conditions, too!

So, we're pretty satisfied with the validity of our experiment and hope all on the forum enjoyed this debate and findings as much as we did.

Here are a few more pics. The first is one final look at the car before the Amuse kit goes on. The full set from yesterday are at:
