Now if you care to dyno your car before and after on the same dyno, same mods minus the slits filled, AND same air temp...and you make more power...then I'll laugh...and say something was wrong with the dyno. /This Thread.
    God you're entertaining. The simple fact is that they do reduce efficiency, period. Think about it, you're feeding air back into the blower, how can it not? This is an OEM blower, so a small efficiency loss is worth it to keep it quieter.

    I did think about it. And I am just tired of hearing all the ridiculous claims in how it helps you out. Show me some hard evidence...not much to ask I don't think. I know you know your sh*t that is why I am saying this. Provide me something and I'll make sure not to knock the idea anymore except it is still a dangerous deal with the epoxy IMO.
