man, if that thing is for real, i would be totally down and interested... give the guy a break, don't knock it till you know one way or the other. i do know that when i spoke with one of the guys at status vip, they said the reason the joe-z intake is based off the stock intake box was because they tried to develop a cold air intake but couldn't get the hp and torque gains without using the intake box as part of the design... hopefully, if what this guy claims is true, K&N has developed a way to realize the gains... thanks for your posts and hopefully, we will start hearing things from K&N soon!
