This is a good point. I've heard of a few people that have had problems with their CAI sucking up water. This is a nice benefit with the G2. I have the G2 and I like it. I know it works because I did a before and after test at the track(same day, only minutes between runs).

You would have to be pretty dumb to suck up much water. You would have to go in water that is like 2 - 3 feet deep. If you are dumb enough to do that then you deserve to get water sucked up in there. But thats jmho. But to answer the question to this post. I guess it is respectable for what it is, but somebody would be much better suited to get a true CAI.

I talked to lgm motorsports and got personal reply from lou himself.He said their system flows very high and said they air under the fender and where it is now would not be much if any colder to make a difference.Also said you can modify under the stock location to allow a bit more airflow thru the unit and couple other things..not good at pasting email in here but can maybe try..well not sure how to do it...be nice to have actual dyno tests of each system.

yeah but they wouldn't say it doesn't work very good would they? I'm sure it is better then stock but imo not worth the money. You would be better off with a CAI. But dyno #'s would be nice.

I'm still waiting for proof that shows the G2 is inferior to other CAIs. I have seen proof that shows it flows just as good as the Moroso CAI.

As far as temperature of the air being inducted, with the Moroso it was what ever the outside temp was. With the G2 it was a few degrees higher. Also have to say I have a scoop in front of the air dam, forcing air up into that area. With out the scoop, I would think the air being inducted by the G2 and the Moroso would have been warmer.
Another thing about the G2, the part that connects towards the MAF is about 1/4" larger than the Moroso.
Right here. Granted it's not hard proof, but it's better then what you guy have been saying. Well look at it, it must not flow as well. And besides, I've seen this guy post the same information numerous times in the past.

Exactly. If you show me before and after tests of CAIs then I'll be happy.

Why aren't the MAF flow readings good proof?

I have the G2 CAI. I bought it used for like 30 bucks and looking at stock verse the G2 the G2 appears larger that stock. Would I buy one new, NEVER. If you can find one used go for it, but I personally believe the others do flow more and are worth it over the G2. I would recommend the K&N FIPK over SLP, but I no longer like SLP since they went to the pony boy’s.

Again, you guys are just using opinions when comparing the G2 to other CAIs. Looks can be very deceiving. Just because it looks like it won't flow well doesn't mean it does.

This is true. What I can do is, if I can find all the pieces to my G2 and my stock induction. I can test it this weekend with my scanmaster and see how they compare to each other. But that's all I can do. There isn't anyplace in this crap town with a dyno. And the closest track is about 2 hours away.
