yeah, but were any of those vids inside the car? I think I know the vids you're talking about...one with the hood popped open, then another in a parking lot, late at night, nothing around, lol

yeah, although, makes me wonder if the HKS will be louder, lol. I took the exhaust off, put my stock one back on...and for the hell of it, put a custom intake on, lol...watching the temps right now and I haven't seen it go up that much at all.
i've done enough datalogs btwn the stock, afe, and injen for iat differences and personally i'd never run an open element.
The HKS is maybe slightly louder due to the aluminium piping over the plastic one afe uses.

I'm kinda hesitant to pull the trigger on some of these expensive intakes because I have yet to see anyone datalog the fuel trims on these cars.

It is inside the car. It sounds fantastic.
that's how all intakes sounds on this car ... they all make the same note. Just minor differences due to the air resonance of the material being used.

True, if it were warmer outside, I definitely wouldn't run an open element, I saw the temps spike like crazy. Reading all this, I don't think anything is better than stock lol.

I'm comparing the sound to the PRL Stage 1 on my car. The blow off on the Eventuri is a bit more high pitched and "sudden" dump of the excess boost (I can't find the words to describe it, clearly lol)

The Stage 1 also has a great sound, but you don't get the high pitched all-in-one-dump. It's a slower more relaxed release of excess boost pressure (if that makes any sense at all).

I just installed the prl hose with the green filter. My mishimoto intake will be for sale. Saving for prl stage 2 and 3 or other companies. Nothing wrong with my mishi box tho.
