so what is the actual Wheel HP Gain?...looks like a great product, i must say...also considering the RC2...
I just copied and pasted this response from Andy at HPAuto about his convo with the craig from takeda:
Update 2: Just spoke to Craig and he gave us some more insight:
1. The dyno #s of 18hp and 20lbs are proven on their Mustang Dynojet. They did 3 dyno runs on oem G37, and kept the middle #. They installed the Takeda intake, drove for 400 miles (let ecu learn new fuel curve) and did the same runs again. These are MAX #s while other competitors post PEAK #s.
2. One of the biggest areas that they gain more power than competitors is in their filter design. He mentioned their oil free filter has deeper pleets.
3. As far as heatsoak, he said that only occurs when you are at idle for a lenghty period of time, once you are under throttle and move forward, the air flow now exchanges aka no more heatsoak, which is why they felt there was no need for heatshield.
4. As a added bonus, we have been authorized to offer free filter cleaning kits for the 15 kits sold. Not sure on the exact value on these (prob 15-20 bux)...just a added bonus.

(i live in a wet snowy area).

I have it installed on my 08 G35X and have felt no noticeable difference. I think there has been mixed feelings as to wether air intakes give our cars a HP increase. Though I haven't felt a difference performance wise, the sound it makes was well worth it to me. The car just sound so mean now. Everyone who rides in my car comments on the great roar. Hope this helps.

I have the R2c system on my 2010 sedan (dual intakes). I actually had the Stillen Gen 3 on there beforehand... but I personally know the R2c guys so they gave me a good deal.
I also had dynos of both systems on a Mustang AWD. The Stillen had significantly better gains, but the R2c just feels more responsive driving around town. High end gains go to the Stillen. So neither system is perfect.
The R2c filters are by far the best in the industry.
I have the Stillen tubes out getting powder coated, and should have them back within a week I hope. Meanwhile, I'm rockin' the R2c system. I like it a lot too (low end responsiveness, better sound), but in the end, the dyno doesn't lie. Since I've already had the Stillen system installed, I think I'll stick with that, even though the R2c will be much easier to maintain in the long run. I get bored, and after taking the bumper off a few times, it really isn't that bad.
But if you are currently stock, and aren't all that handy, honestly, the R2c is your best bet.
The runs were done 8 days apart... temperature/humidity was not a factor as I made sure I went back on a day that was as close as possible to the original runs.
old = Stillen
new = R2c
