Intakes dont do much at all other than sound and give you a placebo effect that makes u think u got more power (sound also helps this). Another guy on the infinity g35 forums wrote up a good review of intakes.
Dynoing out the myth of the Intake mod.
^I highly recomend you go read it.

Then why would companies like Dinan offer the following marketing material for their intakes then if they don't provide power gains?

Because people will buy them? The numbers they give you for gains are bs, put an intake on your ride and dyno it like that guy in the link I posted did and gain 2-3 WHP max. Some intakes even reduce performance due to heatsoak or simply due to an inferior design.

I don't know about you guys but I actually felt a power gain with my old afe intake <<<<< LOL, that was a joke. But if anyone is interested I have an afe intake sitting in my garage collecting dust. Ya know, if you want the sound effect.
