Granatelli Intake w/new MAF???

On a lighter side, here is the exhaust vid
To keep things a little lighter, here is a link to the exhaust that I just put on this past weekend. The little camera does it's darndest but it's not a pro camera/recorder. It still sound dang good. The car was not even warmed up but I was in a hurry so I am curious what others with different exhausts think. I do like this as much as the Borla and no drone (and 1/2 the price).

And maybe it's me but
the way that is posted makes it seem like the posted hp gains can not possibly be true, therefore get a local dyno so they can see the "real numbers", and also questioning the a/f ratios, because they must be off, again questioning the validity of the product, without ever using it. I guess I'll just take a vacation from this thread for a while. The numbers have been posted numerous times, the testimonials and the pics of customer installs are there. Believe it or not.

However, if you don't wish to take my advice, then that is by your choice but that still doesn't give you the right to accuse me of being a liar and speaking of liars..If I had any intentions of accusing JR as one..I'd come right out in the open, and say so..As I said before, you don't know me from a hole in the wall, so just who in the hell are you to accuse me of anything??..Therefore, take your anger out on those who were responsible in the first place, instead of someone that had absolutely, nothing to do with it..

Humm let's get something straight right now, you have a very serious attitude problem and as far as suggesting that you all get dyno tested, was nothing more than a suggestion and that perhaps I was trying to give advice, did you ever think of that ?? before you decided to personally attack me, by accusing me of being a liar ???? And my reason for my advice is this..every car responds to modifications differently, I don't care if their 2 identical cars, engines, whatever..The fact is no 2 cars respond in the same way

Would any of you, agree to this ?? I mean, you should at least be a little curious right ??? I sure know, I'd be.. Sorry, I forgot to mention earlier that it would also be in your best interests, if you also have your A/F ratio's checked, as well..
I really am trying to just drop this. I will continue to try restraint, but......oh, and one more thing, about not knowing who's on the other side? that works both ways.

Well how about we just wait until the GMS CAI comes out with the Fuego tuner and really watch it blow SCT and other tuners out of the water. Dyno's don't lie come on. You think he actuallu sits there and photoshop's the little lines on the dyno readout I'm sure he has more important things to do....like make money by selling millions of CAI's to people who believe in him and his products. +1 for GMS

I don't remember which of the three competing threads it was in. I believe it was a link to the C&L site. That chart showed improvements over base with the tuner and their tune similar to, but slightly less than, the charts posted this last week by JR, and verified by two owners who's cars they were run on, without a custom tune.
That's straight forward. C&L's advertised performance cains with their intake and tune vs. GMS's installed intake without tune.
And JR has stated that anyone with a dyno and tuner can get even better results out of his system. How much more? No one has done one yet. But as a starting point, I think the GMS intake looks like a really good beginning, if you want more, or a nice easy upgrade if that's all you want to do.
And for the record, I have a C&L Street intake and Diablo Predator tuner in my garage. There's no way yet to upload the Diablo tune to the '07 (they don't have all the CAL-ID's in their latest revision), or it would already be installed on my car, but I ran 12,000 miles with it on my '05 and loved every second of it. If I could put just the intake on and go, I would, but since the C&L requires that tuner, I'm still running stock. If I had the GMS CAI, it'd already be installed and running, no waiting for the updates.

Edit: OMG, I just noticed something about the link to the dyno results on the C & L site. Look at the dyno results. What kind of dyno is that? What kind does GMS use?

Third, did you actually read my posts, or did you just skim through every 5th word? Or was it that you only understood every 5th word? 4th, if you don't answer to me, then why do you keep replying? 5th, if you had actually read my posts, you would see that every post is a paraphrase and or a direct quote from a post that you madeSo how am I accusing you of anything, when I'm only repeating what you've already said. And what started this whole thing was you saying
And so I replied about the pointlessness of doing so, because if you don't believe someone who has a dyno at their work, and who is probably on that dyno daily, and who knows the most about the CAI, then why would you or any of the other doubters believe me, who's never even used a tuner, much less a dyno. Your initial post said that you wanted to "settle this issue, once and for all". What issue was that? For me I already know the CAI lives up to its claims, what is it that you are arguing? And if it's about the performance possibilities of a CAI, then why is it only this CAI? Because it's different?

No, you didn't come straight out and directly say it..However there were at least 3 accusations that you did accuse me of, for ie So that you and the other people can then say that I must've forged or somehow doctored the results, Thats was your first accusation.. now here's the second and again I ask you why? You don't believe JR's numbers? So you've never disrespected JR or had anything bad to say about him, you just think he's a liar. and here's your third accusation..should settle this, once and for all.. Now you asked me to show you, well I just did, you accused me 3 different times, with your own words..and just to set the record straight, when I made the comment about settling this once and for all..I wasn't referring to myself, I was referring to those other people that you were comparing me with

I apologize for thinking you were one of "them".

Well, all I can say after reading all 16 pages of this thread at one sitting is wow! I wish I had $300 I didn't need because it would be on it's way to JR for this CAI. Thanks to those who actually bought this and provided your thoughts and pics.
