I also tested K&N, Amsoil, and Stock air filters to find a negligible difference in their performance on this vehicle (2HP variance) which was well within the standard deviation of the dyno proving they weren't worth the money. Not sure how a big V8 would fare but you can bet I'll be testing them and reporting the results on my website.
Too many people jump on the aftermarket stuff without any clue what they're getting. On the 4Runner the K&N intake kit looses power over the stock system. The K&N filters also showed a HP loss power on my motorcycle as well as my buddy's GSXR 1000 as well.
Moral of the story, be smart with your cash folks.

Exaclty; it doesn't look hacked at all. I'll be the first to admit it looks better than mine and that you can block it off off-road is a great addition too. I can't think of a more true statement off the top of my head. Like you're saying - do the research.
