I'd like to see a third party dyno. That is steep for a piece of pipe

After owning the AFE intake and being lied to by this company I call complete bull****. They faked a dyno on the intake until we called them out. It's likely not worth the Aluminum it's made out of.

I concur, besides the fact this should be a 100 dollar piece if it did gain 10hp, their intake should give a seat of pants feel at 33hp or whatever it is. All I found was an annoying thumping. I've generally liked AFE as a company but this looks like a stretch.

I call BS. Anyone willing to get this should just get a whole intercooler upgrade.

Lol

How exactly does this add power? Smoother curve in the piping? Fairy dust lining?

the price is a bit steep for piping but, my buddy had an evo 9 and picked up some ponies switching out the plastic charge pipes. also kept the boost more consistent, it is surely not worth what their asking though.
