From extensive searching and reading everyone’s info on the Hybrid intakes it was an obvious buy. No low end loss and all high end gain is what most people were experiencing. Plus the HP gains Steve had shown. Lime, I may be putting it back on but I want to go to the track and make some runs with/without the intake when it gets a little cooler. Houston is still 95F/80% humidity!

It may just be too hot to feel the low end power that the Franken can produce (this is what I'm hoping). I just don't like the "bog" between shifts on the Franken but I do love the sound and pull on top!

Did you ever get to read my threads on installation? I mentioned that I cut the hose about 3-4 inches, and it solved most of the problem. I just get a slight deformation (just a tiny bit oval in the center area of the hose).

Also, I read a good article on the nissanmagazine website. I don't know the URL, but its one of those things that says mods usually boost one side of the powerband more than the other. In this case, a midpipe combined with a cone filter logically increases peak HP at the mid-high end of the power curve. For people who care about performance, this is better than a "good feeling" down low. hmm...that didn't sound right did it.
