Um sure , again just talking from experience , Stock numbers were 273WHP ,went back with Gen 3's and catback car made 297 so guess those were made up ? Oh NO tune , after tune car made 298 WHP but pick up 15+ in the mid range .
No matter what the end number show there are gains made with the Gen 3's and the Takedas

You hold water with short ram and those have actually lost WHP here as the suck in hot air being in the engine bay, The Takeda's and Gen 3's mind as well be completely outside the car, Open hood or not they make the same WHP as the do not receive any extra air from the hood open, The IM heat soak with the hood open or close maybe a different argument.

vs

2. Stillen Gen 3 Ultra long tube

another thought is just to leave it stock and drop in some knn or aam filters

any opinions...?
