I'd say that the ambient conditions were favorable for comparing the Injen intake vs OEM. They did a great job picking the right day for their install. It's also easier to justify and advertise higher power levels when the conditions were actually worse with the aftermarket intake, so kudos on Injen for doing it right.

That being said, whether or not the hood is raised has a HUGE impact on intake air temps with a pod filter. Conversely, it wouldn't have a major impact with the OEM intake. My take is that these dyno measurements would be drastically favored towards Injen's intake if they were done with the hood opened.

Still, looks like a nice intake. Still considering it for my car. Let us know what you think!
