Hm... I'm lost... In the results it shows that the Injen Intake was the best one... BUT HOW DOES IT COMPETE TO UMNITZA? From everyone's personal opinion and statistics, which is better? Injen or Umnitza?
Also...
I have a TRD Exhaust and I heard if you use after market stuff with the TRD Exhaust the Exhaust ends up sounding like a coffee can. So if I add a intake, would I sound ricey?

But I do have to say, this brings up my pet (please proove me wrong) peeve with the Umnitza, that it really isn't an intake, it's a carbon fibre box that fits round a cone filter. It should perform the same way sticking a cone filter on the end of the stock (or S/C) intake pipe would (maybe with a slight improvement becuase it draws from the front of the engine area (although that won't show on a dyno.
But hey, I've said it before I'll say it again, I'm cynical. But I'm happily prooved wrong.

I just looked this up, and I noticed it hasn't been tested as well... Is it too new?
DOHC VVT-i Cold Air Filter Intake R

I wonder if this one is any good as well.

hopefully we will receive it today and be able to test tonight.

the thing with the umnitza intake, or any other filter for that matter, is that it was ment to be put on a N/A engine with only that amount of air to be passed through the filter. a S/C engine would eventually need a filter with twice as much, if not more, suface area as a filter designed for a stock or lightly modded N/A engine. SOOOO wut im tryin to say it just may not be able to pass the air through as quickly and effectively as demanded by the F/I engine without loosing a few ponies in the proccess
