If I remember the CAI test correctly, the Pipeline made the most power. It sucks from a standstill though. It heatsoaks bad. I get pretty nervous if I get caught in a heavy rain. You wouldn't want to drive through very much water at all.
If I had it to do again, I'd probably get the Pipeline again. Just be aware of the things you need to be aware of and you'll be fine.
It is one of the best looking intakes IMHO.

Yep, I agree. Mine would heat soak bad from sitting idle. Not good for me since I drag race on occasion. The IAT's would sky rocket in the staging lanes and would not return to normal until after my run was done. I have no proof to back it up but I truly think that I would have run faster at the track with the stock intake. It was pulling that much timing from inaccurate IAT's. It is a MONSTER from a roll though. Probably the best or maybe second only to the Vararam from a highway roll. I think this CAI could have been one of the very best if it had been made of plastic and they moved the IAT/MAF sensor a little further away from the TB.
If I had it to do over again it would have been ADM race with scoop or a Vararam CAI.
