I just got home! I'm currently uploading everything to photobucket, give me another 10 to 15 minutes and I will throw everything up before I go to bed. ZOMG! All I can say is it was a REALLY nice ride home

Alright folks, lets get started!! Here are the conditions of my run with my 2011 6MT G37S Sedan, again, bear in mind I already have Berk HFC. So the numbers may be considered slightly skewed. But regardless it's ****in retarded LOL
The Dyno had a big issue with our Infinitis running up to redline, which was really disappointing when looking at the curves.
Berk HFC, very inconsistent readings but when we averaged them out it was close to 263/264 hp.
Here are my numbers with just my Berks HFC
Here's a pic of her waiting on the Dyno with the R2Cs installed
Conditions on this run were very similar
If not just a few degrees cooler, I had to wait for a few others before me, +/- about 2 hours
Heres the curve of my Berks and R2C intakes
My numbers from the Dyno with my Berks and R2Cs...you will note they are much more consistent! If I was to take the average of my first three runs and my last three runs we are looking at a gain of 14 horsepower and 7 pounds per feet of torque AT THE WHEELS and of course it's starting at 2600 rpms until about 6k from the graph we saw.
Heres the graph showing my first run and then after the installation of the R2Cs. I'm really surprised that the graph didn't show a larger improvement across the curve
This is a slightly skewed graph, showing my average run on my first pull and the best pull after the install of my R2Cs

In conclusion if you compare the graph before and after individually you will note that at about 2400/2500 the power band moves straight up! Noting a significant improvement in airflow and performance. On the highway home I noticed a lot more torque and general power. I realize the 37HRs have a good amount of torque in 6th gear, but it's a significant improvement in the same gear....as you can see from the graph. Also the power band shifts slightly to the left, imo thats a great thing since the power comes up sooner and is more usable. The tone is significantly nicer, a much throatier note and also matching rpms on downshifts is much easier too! Overall I'm EXTREMELY happy with this intake and I wish the company itself was more well known on the same level as Stillen is on the forums. I also want to point out my AFR....no concerns whatsoever of the engine running too lean or big dips/spikes with them. They were incredibly consistent, much more so than my previous Injen intake I ran on my 05 Coupe a few years back.
With that being said for anyone that is interested in this intake I would point you towards ImortPartsPro here on the forums. They gave me a great price and customer service was among the best I have ever seen. I've ordered things from Stillen quite a few times and have never gotten such personalized service, quick emails and even a letter thanking me for my business. No one does that in this industry that I'm aware of!
The quality of the intake was well thought out, even places for the clips that were connected to the MAF. I was a bit confused by the directions on which hoses to use but I had a great pitcrew and we got it done fairly quick. Again I will say that the quality of the intake, and the Black Nickel finish was second to none.
I hope this helps people make a great decision on which intake to buy and if it isn't an obvious choice I have zero regrets about passing up the Stillen intake!!!

I'm pretty sure he kept them in 4th. Yea I was really disappointed. That was kinda the whole reason to run them back to back. But the gains in power were certainly noticeable. Still a little curious why one of my pre intake pulls was close to 277. I We threw that out and just averaged the 3 pulls. That was the 2nd pull, 3rd pull was 260 which seemed more realistic

Glad to see that my butt dyno is alive and well....your numbers pretty much confirm what I felt since I installed my R2Cs (also black chrome). Great product for the price! Note of caution though - sound is so much better, I find myself redlining at every opportunity!
