I think BJ is just irratated that 14hp was fed to us over and over and now nothhing... thats just very frustrating...
I concur. But its beginning to beat a dead horse. I just treat it like it is...an intake on an NA car. Gains are never going to be that stellar w/o FI. Even with full bolt-ons and ECU tuning, you'll be lucky to see 40rwhp increase. Childs play when you compare it to an FI car. Turn up boost a few notches and its already way past 40 rwhp. Not sure why producing 7 less hp than advertised is pissing so many people off. Seems like its being blown out of proportion.
I'm totally with blackjack. Injen insisted on 14 for the longest time even if several people kept screaming impossible they kept saying they did it... Now we find out its actually about 4hp. ~70% under advertised... I think everyone would of let it slide if they produced at least 8hp but 4hp is not acceptable, they fail!!!
Stillen is still advertising 10 rwhp/9 lb/ft to the wheels for their long tubes. (Link) I fail to see how they are different.
So what I'm saying is, manufacturers do this. Its already well known they're going to inflate numbers. Its all about the money. If you thought they were going to make 14 rwhp, you were dumb enough to believe them.
Now this Sucks! I truly Thought we would get at least 10HP! But only 6HP and barely 2lbs Torque! Now this is really bad marketing on INJEN's part! And I think someone should come on here and explain! But I highly doubt it, as it seems they were just out to get our Money! Glad I only paid $500. and not the Retail price of $700+! Guess they all thought or saw that we Had "SUCKER" on our Forhead! I am kinda Pi$$ed now. Injen really pulled one Over our Eyes! A I like the Looks of them, but no more HP's than any other Intake out there! They should be ASHAMED of themselfes!! I got nothing more to Say.

7 if you count the mustang dyno factor, lol. But yeah...still not that high. I was expecting atleast +50 to the wheels.
