I, too, would like to see what this stirs up...
since some members acted as though I blasphemed when I questioned the .2 sec 1/4 improvements touted by intakes...

Seriously though, it does make me wonder. I wish we had someone with unlimited dyno access to test this.

So.... what was the cause of all the failing flex sections?? The cattman units were not the only ones to fail early. My Jasco units failed quite fast also.

I like Jeff's last comment myself. It brings to mind of one of my favorite expressions:

i would think one test, on one maxima, is not enough evidence to start developing conclusions.
interestingly enough, im currently waiting for my bank to transfer funds to my paypal account so i can purchase a berk intake. in light of this information, i must say, i find myself amused. however, stupid as it may sound, im willing to spend $59.95 on making my car sound cool.

so basically this just backs up what all us realist people have known all along. you get little to no gains from just an intake, but it helps free up the air flow when other mods (ypipe, pulley, catback, etc.) are added. Mainly, it looks and sounds cool, and thats why people pay for it.... :::shrug::: i'm happy with my $60 purchase for 1-3hp and a cool look and sound...

Either of you can two intakes plus dyno time

Anyhow, rude comments aside, what that thread says is basically by removing the factory air box will be sufficent enough to allow the manifold pressure to have a zero vacume meaning that the intake is sufficiently "filling" the engine with enough air. Although this test is a clever one it doesn't do anything to tell us what the vacume was (or wasn't) on the way to redline. The engine may be able to peak out at redline but what if your engine is gasping for air along the way? The test also doesn't show if the engine was under load during the test. Was the guy just reving it or did he drive it and see the pressure at zero?
Nevertheless it does provide some insightfull information.
