what i want to clarify, is that i'm sure you'll be able to FEEL 10hp, no doubt... just saying that i've NEVER heard of an intake itself giving 10hp. my question isn't whether or not you can FEEL 10hp, it's that an intake would give that much. i'll stand corrected if someone confirms that an intake can give that much.

While we're awaiting answers from others, you might want to think about it this way - an intake will give more hp depending on how restrictive the stock intake is. On cars that are designed more for grocery getting than performance, they will be extremely restrictive to reduce noise. For example, you can get 1-2 hp out of an RSX-S just by cutting off the fins inside the stock airbox. A CAI on an S2000 doesn't give you as much, since the stock intake is already designed to flow more air than the grocery getter's.

point well taken

Intake on tC can easily give 10whp throughout the RPM range. Why this assumption? tC has a 2.4L 2AZ-FE, and uses same air filter as Corolla's 1.8L 1ZZ-FE - good chance that it's a little too restrictive for our engines.

Anyone knows the realease date for the AEM intake?

IMO AEM is the best of the best and Import Tuner fells the same way. this link will show 9.2 hp gains with an injen CAI and a 20.7hp gain with AEM CAI. ON an Acura RSX type S. injen didn't send a short ram for the test. i wonder why? maybe they didn't want to send the best intake they have out :? or maybe...................................it isnt better? there are also some other numbers and intakes check it outhttp://www.aempower.com/press_events_detail.asp?aid=12
