I'm sure you'll find many due to the power loss caused by the AFE intake. Many members have purchased the intake and removed it immediately when the dyno sheet was posted. I personally would go with a bmc (used by F1) or helene drop in filter and the RPi Scoops.

He knows and is aware about RPI products but he said he want that AFE for a winter project for a project. The Canadian winters are long and the temp is between -40C to -5C that I always wonder AFE is working good on winter seasons. Who knows! I know Eloy said it is worse but I don't know it is valid until see the results... I am trying to find a dyno result from somewhere north with that AFE. All the dynos I saw are from hot places such Florida, Texas, California but never from north.... Please anyone post a dyno from North here then I will shut up myself.

Thanks Mig, and yes it does get bone chillin cold here in the winters, wish I had a winter car but dont. And yes I am aware of the data of power loss on them. Somebody out there has to have one laying around since so many purchased them and taken them off. Michael I believe has one and an email has been sent to you. I will keep you guys updated to what I will be doing, thanks.
