Below are the numbers seen on dyno runs. The SL55 setup still had the rad restriction intact and is running through the restrictive OEM box filters. "Wyes" make no difference. Dare I say my setup may provide better flow not having to deal with the restrictive 90 deg inlet bend of the NW filters. If I'm even loosing a few HP over the NW, looking at a savings of over $500 makes that a no brainer in my book.
