feel free to contact Eloy/RPI directly, I would love to see your dyno's tho

Fair enough. I do believe the gains (if of any significance) are so minimal that they would get lost in the "noise" of testing.

I do not have the luxury of owning my own dyno and as a result I pay for time on one. I will have dyno results coming in the near future to reveal metrics on more significant upgrades, but am probably not gonna spend my pennies on dyno'ing the intake grate since I doubt it will add much value to the forum...at least not as much value to offset the hit to my wallet.

I was OK with dyno'ing the magnaflow exhaust earlier this year because I (as well as others on the forum) was curious just how much power would be lost going with a dual exhaust, and we were pleasantly surprised when it didn't lose any power. I saw value in sharing that information to the forum and hope others are willing to contribute their findings in the same spirit.
