I agree 100% with the theory -- but I have yet to see clear evidence of it. Actually, I was surprised to see the panel filters plus smooth tubes making approximately equal gains.

Also, you keep making reference to the longer tubes as if the tubing length itself (rather than where it pulls air) is important -- it might be, but longer tubes tend to move peak torque down not up. Does that appear to occur with the longer tube intakes? Do they mainly gain in the midrange?

Again, I am looking for clear empirical evidence of performance differences -- how hard would it be to test?

where are these links of K&N making equal gains ? I have seen numerous G3 dynos.. I have yet to see a single dyno of K&N making 7-8 whp on any car site that I have ever looked at. 350zs did tend to make similar power with stock intakes compared to JWT short ram and same with 370z short ram intakes. But the LT intakes (more a year or so ago ) had dynos popping up with power being made repeatedly... most of it is way up top but power is made... G3 , AEM, and Injen

Here is a link to a dyno, that was the very first thread that popped up when I google searched... made 20 WHP , yes 20 WHP

STILLEN Longtube G3 Intakes. Review, Dyno and Impressions. - from RCZ ( repuatable forum member )

and here is one from Semtex, another repuatable forum member who had HFC and Berk CBE + 14.8 WHP

Install of Stillen G3 Intakes complete - review, etc.

ummm, i think that argument should be over
