Get them to leave the gnd sticker of itll save on weight :

Well of course its a pod filter in there.. I hardly think the shape of it would support a panel filter. Fact is that its not just a filter making the gain. The design from how it fits in the car, where it takes air from and how it is connected to the intake piping has all been tested.. not just slapped in and assumed it works.

There is no smoke and mirrors here. The airbox is an "off the shelf" item for $650 which, when run back to back with the old system, made a measured 10rwkw difference on my car. I wrote up how the test was done and clearly stated what was (and wasnt) on the car at the time. Complete transparency. I have nothing to hide at all. Neither have G&D.
I believe we expected a 5-7rwkw gain or so before we fitted it so it even suprised us (I hoped for 5rwkw). This same airbox made a 12rwkw gain over a factory stock intake on an AU XR8 recently too so this is not something new. There is also a proven BA and LS1 version of this airbox in use too.

Feel free to try and pick holes in it but the facts are all there to be seen. The VCT engine has been shown to be very fickle in the past and, with the right mods, has often shown a better then expected increase. I'd love to see this same mod done to a Forte or Fairlaine and see the results of that but I am certain it would be a fairly dramatic improvement as well.
I feel no need to defent the results. The airbox has been a proven entity long before I got it, the dyno I ran it on has long been regarded as believable and G&D have been around developing inhouse performance parts for decades.
