Nice find!
I had just bought the K&N (filter only) 3 days ago and haven't installed it yet....
Looks like its going back and placing an order for one of these!!!!
Just called around and no one has this part in there system yet???
I have one place calling it in to see if they can get one...

Nice find.. This looks petty good although I still like the looks of the stillen one much better... I will put this up on the Aftermarket List but if possible a link would be awsome I'll do my best to find one for it.
That car dyno'd 204 whp stock with 16k miles???? Thats a huge drivetrain loss or something aint right. None the less, nice hp gains.
Yes it's been stated by many that the dyno results are inconclusive to go by with the CVT. I would be hesitant to believe any of the K&N dyno numbers or any other dyno numbers with this powertrain.
The best anyone could do at this point is purchase all of the available intakes and test all on the same dyno with the exact same test procedures and conditions in order to really get an idea on who has the best performance. Just not practical unfortunately.
At this point people are making good guesses and going by looks...

while you guys are waiting I'll be driving around SO Cal with the K&N intake. Ordered it yesterday and it showed up today.
Looking at the dino chart it looks like the max HP gain was caught at one moment and it showed a 13HP at that point....not really at 13HP gain over the whole rpm range and I don't think it's a 13HP gain over the stock 290hp but just the max gain at one point...did I make sence?
anyways...if the R2C system shows a much bigger gain, might have to get that one to replace the K&N...

I think that even if the R2C system has similar gains, it will still be worth it for the dry filter alone. To clean it all you do is blow it out with an air gun. No oiling or anything like that. I can't wait. Its good to see more companies coming out with products. Tell us how you like it once you get it.
Got it on and so far so good.
One thing I don't like and I guess if you go to something like this, its what you asked for...Its LOUD!
I do like hearing the exhaust when you get on it, but this gives you alot of sound just getting on it a little. Might take it off till I get an exhaust on, that way I will have more sound comming from the rear of the car then the front.
Seems like the car has more power, but it could be the sound making me feel like its got more....
