You should try the new MDesign intake...

Nothing against MDesign's intake, I think it is super sweet looking and will do a GREAT job controlling intake temperatures (which I think was the way it made 15 more hp, lower intake temp=more timing... No data logging to know), but I don't think that it is the intake for me. The reason for that is; the filters. I know NOTHING about flow ceiling of the filter itself. I have talked with MDesign requesting flow data on the filter, but all I get is... "its flows great, made 15 hp more than an airraid so it will not be a restriction". I personally don't think that the MDesign will EVER flow more than a Airraid as the "filter" in an airraid flows 1300 cfm (enough to easily support 600 crank hp) and the MDesign housing is so small it will never hold a big enough filter to flow those kind of numbers (especially once dirty). No one can tell me what the actual flow numbers on the filter are so untill someone has one and makes more power than I have with it or I actually see flow numbers, I'm probably staying with this stupid stock box or an airraid with a lid.
Sorry for the rant, but I haven't bought an intake because none of them seem to do what I want them to. I want a filter that keeps the engine heat out of the intake air (unlike an airraid) and have a large filter media that will out flow my turbo's (maybe unlike the MDesign...can't get data). This girl isn't done at 418hp.... shes getting ATP's(not this spring like I was planning) and I need a intake with them in mind.
Again no disrespect to the MDesign intake, just need real controlled and logged testing showing its capability.
