Interesting About The New Tl
I was looking for a replacement filter and ran across this on the INJEN website...

How does a +14hp +12.8 ft/lbs. max gain, and a +13hp, +10 ft/lbs gain at peak sound to you? Thats the claimed gains of the Comptech Icebox for the CL-S 6 speed.
Link to dyno
Sounds to me like you just chose the wrong intake

One of our members on A-TL.com gained about 8 whp by installing the Injen, so its not all smoke and mirrors, but I haven't seen any independent dynos claiming gains of around 15 whp from just an intake for the 04 TL.
If you search on A-TL.com you can find more info about the Injen.

thats what i figured, just hadnt looked this stuff up for a while...
Liquice--i didnt choose the wrong one, i was looking for a filter for my CL-S and just say this on their site. its cool if the icebox gives a little more, i just thought 12whp seemed really good.

Isn't the 10 extra stock hp the new TL has over the old TL from an upgraded intake. I can't imagine an aftermarket one would increase it that much more.

The intake on the 04 TL is still good, and there are people who have theorized that it gets most of its effect when you are driving and there is a "ram-air" effect with the stcok CAI. This is hard to duplicate on a dyno, which "might" be a reason why the aftermarket ones are showing more gains...

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the "raim air" effect only starts to really start adding power at speeds in excess of like 100-110mph??
