I am leaning more towards the BSR Optiflow but id like to hear the opinion of others as well http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=57-0641 http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=548&osCsid=b5950591b4e9a65715e94942717217f7 (in reply to Roto) Post #: 11

I had some results with the Gtech, but I needed to see how much HP I uncorked with the new exhaust. So I did the cone filter and Stock box expierement for my amusement. 192WHP/208Ftlbs K&N Stock box panel filter 188WHP/201Ftlbs Uni Foam Filter 189.1WHP/201ftlbs K&N Cone Filter (recharged) From my turbo miata  Temps were 78 Degree's outside temp at reveXtreme brandon florida.   Waiting for a cheap stage 2 upgrade soon.  My goal is 240WHP. And this was on a Dynojet, uncorrected < Message edited by drewbroo -- 3/22/2008 4:29:10 AM > (in reply to Roto) Post #: 13

Since this would be my first air intake that i will have for my car and first time that i will install such thing on my car...any suggestions; things that i should be careful with, stuff that i should look for watch out for what to do what not to do? or is it just safer to have it done at an autoshop? thx, Alex (in reply to Roto) Post #: 15

They have great intakes, and their filters are all high flow. This means that their are not only open air, but the fibers in the filter let in more air than others do. I have a filter on my 9-5 and the improvement is quite noticable, and my GOD the SOUND, when paired with a diverter valve (in reply to Roto) Post #: 17
