The question that needs to be answered is how well it filters. Less resistance to airflow is gonna give an increase in HP. If it is because it filters less, the HP comes at a price.

Filtration and flow rate have been tested by TKO performance. You can see the data here:

In addition to a power increase, most performance filters and intakes also sound much better, ie, louder.
Can anyone speak to the sound of this filter under acceleration.

I don't notice any more intake sound but it's so far behind you now it would be hard to really hear it. With that said, I do feel like the exhaust is a hair louder than it was before.

You can grab one from my website listed in the description of the video. I don't think I'm allowed to post it here so just check out the description and the first comment on the video.

It does seem that way sometimes. I was at the dyno for a week straight making sure this thing made power before TKO continued with the production so it definitely makes power over factory.

Dyno numbers are posted right on the site, and keep in mind, this is MY car on the dyno so I personally saw these increases. You can see them here:

Two questions: one, what is difference in final gear ratio between Stingray with and without Z51 option?
two, what gear did you use for the dyno run?

I really want one of these filters, maybe I'm better off ordering from a vendor sooner rather than later...

I’ve order so many things and one item (front lip) was in stock. Everything else I’ve been waiting from 6 weeks to one item 16 weeks. Pretty much everyone is advertising their items and don’t have them in.

If you order from my site it will ship in 7 - 10 business days. I've already sent out about 50 of them since that video went live. Check it out here: https://www.horsepowerobsessed.com/c...ber-air-filter

Do you mind reviewing the thoughts behind why the stock air filter should be replaced?

And cost and current delivery time for the filter?

Thx
