I don't see the problem. $1000 for 15hp is fine by me. I think the guy that came up with it and did the testing should be commended, not chastised. Now let's get in the Christmas spirit and share the joy of the season!

I'm with Russk on this one.

What's the word with these intakes? And any dyno graphs yet?

Here is one for a 11 R8 Sypder. Nothing was change but the filters on the car while it sat on the dyno. They even repeated the test to make sure nothing crazy was happening.

These are the BMC filters. I put the K&N on mine. I think really any filter is better. Just becareful to not get ones that are really oiled because they will mess with the MAFs.

I do not sell anything I have put two different types of filters on my R8. They really do give you a nice little gain. I have vbox data that will also show you the difference if you would like. I have tried the Carbonio carbon fibers ones and the K&Ns. The Carbonios messed up my MAFs but they did give me a full return on their product.

I'd like to see the dyno from an LP not a R8 to determine if there is any gain and how much.

25 whp from a filter change only?? Man, that is impressive!! But I am not sure if the LP would yield the same results or not.

Coupe, show us some dyno numbers!! =)

I highly doubt it, especially on an NA car. GTR yes you'll see that, but NA and these cars have already been tuned to give the most HP possible.

Haha. I know it sounds crazy. I just present the evidence. My vbox doesnt lie either. I was trapping 1.5 to 2.5 mph faster in the 1/8th mile.

Ya, but his R8 is NA and it was able to achieve 25 whp! Without a dyno sheet, I would have NEVER believed it.

My R8 is on dragtimes if you want to look. My trap speeds and times are pretty much the exact same as the other two LP560s that ran. around 11.8 and 123 mph. I just had the tune and exhaust when I made those runs.

I do not ever look at the magazines quarter mile times because they are bogus. I always look at the normal drivers times like myself.

The only thing that may be different is on the LPs do the intakes sit on top of the car or come through the side like the R8? I cannot remember. The stock paper filters are the exact same though and so is the intake box.
