Sorry, another intake thread...

I came across this intake and wondered if anyone had purchased this?

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/agency-power-cold-air-intake-porsche-boxster-986-9804-p-46739.html

I am always skeptical about these things but it is hard for me to argue with the dyno results. Sure it is possible that the dyno results were skewed for whatever reason but this is one of the first dyno results that I've seen that actually support a little power boost with a CAI. For $300 it may just be worth it? Not to mention the anticipated sound benefit?

Is it just me or do every one of these CAI products look exactly the same. A plastic tube with a cone air filter and a box to theoretically keep the air coming in a few degrees cooler. How much different could one be to the next?

And they all give you substantial power gains too.
