I also want Chad's input on this as well. :tup:

Since my email summoned me.... Maybe AEM failed to mention that they strapped a Ryobi cordless leaf blower to the pod filter, and moved the Dyno to the beach at sea level and also put an industrial air conditioner in front of the car to maximize the amount of cool air charge.
OR, the "engineers" at AEM are using magic mushrooms and hallucinating, because 32 horsepower for an intake, is quite literally impossible. Maybe 12 or 14 horsepower, but 32? Yeah without correction factor on any DynoJet, you can fudge any numbers, it's the "selling" point for these companies.
Most STi owners, especially GR/GV owners will add an intake for noise making purposes, since the stock Airbox has internally built in baffles unlike the GD Airbox. So if AEM can "justify" spending over 300 bucks on a noise maker by saying it adds 32 horsepower right out of the box, most people are going to buy it, the "cool" factor.
