Is that the same thing as putting it in S or S+ mode without the controller?

I like the mods! I just ordered a Takeda CAI for my car and it shipped today.

http://www.jmautosports.com/takeda/t...i-1999999.aspx

I'm sure I will enjoy it, but that HPS intake tube looks sweet and its half the price of the one I just bought! Plus it utilizes that factory sound generator. mrpartsman does it sound the same or is it there a notable difference in sound?

for anyone intereted in the HPS Shortram Post MAF Intake heres a link...

Didn't know HPS makes intakes for the GS. I used to work for that company about 10 years ago.

HPS Intake looks to be a great bargain if the gains are there. Please let me know if it is worth purchasing.

it does make a difference , the stock tube is 3 inches and the HPS is 3.5 inches, so that more air flow to it.

From the HPS site, it says "Delivers dyno proven performance gains +14.5 Whp horsepower, +12.6 Ft/lbs torque and improve throttle response." Is that true?

Do you keep the sound generator or does that come off. Do you have a picture with just engine cover off for a better view of it on.
