see, if he in fact were mentioning the SLP OE Lid in his comparison and getting 7 more rwhp, then he is getting 14ish rwhp... Taking your 7 plus the 6 he said above and 1 for the heck of it.. So that is far from 25... To put it in more realistic terms, cause I dont believe stuff just cause, if I were to use the FIPK in my car and return to the dyno yet again and do a test yet again as I have been doing, I would see my car pull... say 310rwhp stock then install the FIPK and then see my car whipping out a 335rwhp? do you, honestly think that is possible? I for one dont on a stock car. If I find one of these locally, i'll run a test on it.. cause that would surely be quite the news everyone would want to hear...

Not to sound arrogant or condesending at all, just stating that I would believe 14rwhp gain over 25... Wouldnt you?
Like many of the mods for our cars some respond better then others. There was one person on the boards (sorry don't remember who) that this was the only mod he did and stated that he got 20rwhp from the FIPK. I was not there so cannot say anymore about this. This has been debated over and over on the boards and will probably continue to be.

Ive seen 20+ rwhp gains on FIPK over stock intake many times. I havent dynoed my car so I dont know how much it is. Did it make a noticeable difference though? HELL YES!!! I was in shock at how much of a difference I felt. I didnt expect to notice a difference while driving, but even under light throttle I feel a major difference. Needless to say the SOTP factor was amazing. I hadnt even mentioned to my sister who was in the car and she said the car felt faster when I floored it. I dont know about alot of people who prefer the lid, but I am very very happy with the FIPK and for do not regret getting it over a lid. I said it before and I will say it again, Lids consistently give 7-10 rwhp. The FIPK sucks so much air in that it actually does give 20+ rwhp. Add the FRA and a ram air hood like I did, and the results are amazing. Personally, I plan on removing the windshield washer bottle and the shroud underneath it for even more gains. It sucks more air in from under the car. Essentially the car cannot breathe any better than with the FIPK.
