It really doesn't matter if it was you, them, or some retarded monkey hitting a keyboard with a bunch of bananas said it. The fact remains that when it gets posted in this (or any) forum it is nothing more than perpetuating propaganda.
Anyone can read what you posted. And if you don't believe their claims why post it as all? The information is B.S. and anyone with half a clue about our cars, and their motors knows that. Heck, there are guys with FORCED INDUCTION that can barely lay claim to those kinds of numbers!
And lastly, it isn't about being a know it all. It is about trying to stop the spread of misinformation where I can. Specifically on the Scionlife forums.

The following is a post that started along this thread because of the seemingly harmless post quoted above:

What they don't say (and what you probably didn't know) is that the performance gain figures are in reference to ALL Volant products. Not in reference to the xB specifically.

It's interesting to see that RTon20s' noble purpose in his attack on your post was to "stop the spread of misinformation" where he can.
If he really believed that "The information is B.S. and anyone with half a clue about our cars, and their motors knows that", then he wouldn't feel the need to point that out. Of course, if he said that in order to imply that you don't know anything- well that's just wrong.
redfins, there was nothing wrong with your post.
Don't take it personally. See, if you click on RTon20s profile thingy on the left ,and then click on his post counter in his profile- it will show you all posts made by him....You will see that our friend has no real problem with you, or your posts. He likes to be inflammatory. This is just what he does here.

Also, what is the machined flat on the top of both units? Is there a cover there or something to attach?

I actually got to drive Redfins car after the intake install and it will haul and it is an auto. I drive a stick with a header and an intake and his feels about as peppy if not more. He is drawing cold air all over the place with his intake.

I was wondering what atached to the spot, since all the pictures I see have nothing attached.
So attaching these (CAI) will lower my torque? I may just pass since I have an auto and need all of the take-off torque I can get.
