On the price comparison - I was looking to see if you think this is a better option than the AFE one you were previously using
I sealed the aFe, I havent sealed the ECS CF intake yet, but will. Now I did do some dyno numbers before and after. When I finally got to the the ECS intake the dyno temps were 10°f higher and I made the same power on a progressively slipping clutch

You can see clearly my clutch was slipping from since the first dyno with the stock intake and when I got the ECS intake installed it got worse, not to mention the significanly higher temps and higher IAT

I had to dismiss these tests results as not valid due to my clutch slipping. Now that I am FBO+ with a stronger clutch, I have to start over.

I cant really say if its better than the aFe atm until after I complete the tests, then I can make the comparison
