AMNVQ whatever happended with your sputtering/shuddering?? I was reading the forums this morning and was it the Hi-Flows that was causing the issues? I have this annoying shuddering around 25-45 mph that i can only imagine would be solved with the throttle sensitivity ITB. Any thoughts?

its all good steve...

i must say, so far i am very happy with the intakes. The sound is great and there appears to be no issues with lag or WOT. As for gains...probably not.

hmm, did you notice lag with the R2C? I cant remember if it was you buy someone was saying there R2C seemed to take away from the snapiness of the car when punching it. I'm curious to see if the Injen produces the same result, and since you have had them both you are a prime candidate to help me out! The design of the Injen with the plastic crimp looking tubing seems like it would restrict airflow more so than the R2C. But something about listening to the videos of the Injens makes me want them, too- I'm just incredibly torn between the two and this 6 week back order from R2C just about has me ready to cancel.

in all reality, there probably is no difference and its all in my head. I agree that the R2C look a lot better, but i cannot confirm if one performs better over the other. to me $250 is the only reason i bought the injens.
