Placebo effect at its finest.

Dyno won't tell the whole story. You can put a huge fan at the front of the car and blow it into the intake and it still wouldn't fully reproduce the same ram-air effect when your car's going 60mph. Much less 70mph, 80mph, 90mph. That's the advantage of the stock intake box or a true cold-air intake set-up. The AFE is not that. The AFE is a hot-air intake.

I don't understand why people continue to buy good looking intake boxes that actually lose you HP. Actually scratch that, 'cos the AFE intake is not even good looking. The GruppeM on the other hand looks pretty sweet though.
