You're too late, HV, I did the same last night! Beat 'ya to it!

Hopefully we can get AirAid's dyno chart vs stock.

I dont think it is anything like that guys
Mike is not the type to photochop dynos, he sells both systems

when i have seen them do dyno's on tv programs, they always have the hood up
probably pretty standard to help engine cooling

to me, for air intake kits, it just seems you need to have it set up as close to real life as possible and the fan in front would give enough cooling for the motor running to run a short dyno on both setups

No no no, I didn't say anything about modifying the results, CJ...

No way. Just modifying the pics themselves to fit, while staying legible.

Right?

He only sells the CGS intake.

I would like to see the stats. of both intakes done by an indipendant reserch company so there is no reason be speculate if the number are forged. I also couldnt see how they would loose power by upgrading the airbox. I agree with CJ. I want to see the test done with the hood close as it would be in "real life"

Can we assume that you or Tokyo will post their response here as soon as you receive it ??

I sent them an e-mail voicing my concerns that Mike brought up about the rubbing on the hood pad and here was their response:



Thank you for your inquiry. we have not had this problem on
the ones we have installed here.there is an adjustment on this the
AIRAID box should just touch the valve cover and the weather strip make
light contact with the hood pad.


Thanks Bill

I have emailed, and called them.. the person at tech support said they would alert Engineering... I stated to post or provide a dyno chart for their product...

nothing yet..

I would also suggest everyone with a concern to email Air Aid.. and ask Mike to post the dyno or have CGS do it..

previous post and you were refering to this post

I'm sure they're being Photochopped right now, considering the colored areas next to the graph subjects. What the dyno charts will contain is anyone's guess...
Right?
the way you stated, it didnt really point out that he was modifying the pics

i remember a post where i thought Mike was going to sell both and here is the post. so that is where i go that from. he is only selling one but thought about selling both.

The HHR runs "different" with it on - and I prefer the way it runs with the CGS instead. The CGS also doesn't require any assembly, and it installs in less than 10-minutes, which is a big bonus for new modders.
