My point is that they
1st said that it was R&D'd to perfection with the MAF in an "unconventional" location. If they said it was perfect and provided gains, I'm sure they would have dyno charts to back it up. If you check in the Borla thread, you'll see that they(Borla) have a dyno graph to
SHOW that they actually R&D'd(because I don't think the exhaust is available just yet)! They(Borla) just didn't make a product and say that it makes gains, without showing how they know it makes gains. Is'nt doing dyno runs part of the R&D process, when you're producing a part thats supposed to make power?...
Then T1R changes the location of the MAF to the stock location and says it works better. Seems like maybe when they "R&D'd", they should've started with the MAF in the stock location; then moved it around to see if it provided gains/benefits.... I don't know, I hope I'm wrong. I hope this intake becomes our best available option, but right now I just don't see it(moneywise)......... I was thinking of getting the CRV airbox like Bill(cowl induction), cutting out the MAF section, so my Xintake cone filter can be housed in the CRV box. Then cut my resonator chamber box(behind driverside fog light) to make it into a big scoop behind the foglight(like T1R). Hook the hose from the "scoop" to the lower hole on the CRV airbox. It should be similar to this T1R setup with the added benefit of the more induction surface area that the cone filter provides vs the flat panel filter... Or I may just do it like Bill depending on his results. Again, I hope I'm wrong and T1R hits the mark; I'll buy one and save myself some work, but......
