Try making more sense.
Perhaps you can post some more false information for everybody.
I say the same to you. Nice try though. I have all day lol
I installed a Cobb turbo inlet along with my MS CAI for two reasons: it improves throttle response, and I felt that a more flexible connection to the rest of the intake was important since the CAI eliminates a flexible section in the stock intake. You're probably okay with TRZ dog-bone, that should keep your engine movement under control, but you'll definitely like the TIP from a purely performance/driving standpoint.
I encourage you to show me any false information I've posted, feel free to back it up.
You don't post false information, you just piss everyone off.
...I did not prove you right. I said MAYBE 5HP. and 90% comes from
a CAI/SRI. The only reason being that I don't want to start a flame war here. Dude, honestly, sounds like you have nothing better than piss on everyone, so go make some friends, or go ride around like a tool on your R1.

I see your point and appreciate your objectivity. Refreshing to see that some on this thread are interested in the facts rather than pissing on each other.
I am concerned, however, about this engine having too much low end torque to begin with, as has been mentioned by another member in this thread. I don't know if that is the reason that there are documented connecting rod failures that seem to be associated with going WOT below 3,000 rpm, but the evidence does point in that direction.
But as long as WOT takes place above 3,000 rpm, then spooling up a bit faster would be a nice benefit. There is still a bit of lag, especially in the higher gears until you get to almost 4,000 rpm, if you are opening up the throttle plate from cruise conditions, like out on the highway at 70-80 mph. If you then drop down a gear to make sure you are above 3,000 rpm, you still have a little lag. If the TIP helps with that, it would be a benefit. Thanks for sharing the info.

OP it's pretty straight forward. If you want performance and all that stuff a TIP claim to do then get one. If power is what you're looking for then might want to check at a mani, dp, IC ect. Does that make sense? Only a ricer would call an TIP a power mod.

Mine just makes the AEM intake continuous in diameter right to the turbo. A little smoothness, a little faster spool but, no power increase I can detect. I did it cuz I can and I like the look of polished pipe all the way to the turbo, blah
