I dont want the look nor the few hp you get, as I stated. I just simply dont agree with "loss of power" and want to test it myself, for my own personal record. If I was concerned with performance I wouldn't be sittin on 22s rofl

As I said "I know RPI is a very ruputable company, again I am not knocking on you or your products"

well you kinda are by saying that the mod is useless. I dont see how its useless when it does exactly what it says it does with proven dyno. Am i missing something here?

I understand you got a good deal, and you are trying to support them lol but still relax. I am not knocking it, Im just saying geting 1-2hp isnt going to make much of a difference on the road if any. Dyno shows increase in power, cool, I am not saying it doesnt, all I was concerned was with diy scoop making hp, and not decreasing it.

Ya a bit of a comedian at times

well lets leave it at what you said and that RPI states that the gain is 5-10 hp, not 1-2 hp
