No, not yet. Looking at the design and size of the intake I am going to venture an educated guess that it is going to skew the fuel trims -10 to -12% or so. I will say one thing though SRIs sound a whole lot meaner than CAIs because the filter is right behind the passenger side of the firewall.
But I didn't wait for this. It was too long.

Sub'd... finally.
If they made the end of the pipe inside of the filter a velocity stack and stuck a screen/straightener on it, then I think this instake could be win all the way around. All they have to do is make a trumpet-ended screen/straightener that slides over the filter end of the tube inside of the filter and call it a day I would think.

Yes, partly because of the distance between the filter and the sensor and partly because it appears that the intake is smaller than stock at the MAF and that will also cause skewing of the MAF. It is like that with any SRI. The stock airbox has the filter close to the MAF so what makes it different? Well because in this case we have a flat panel filter where the flow is strait through the filter and directly toward the sensor. In this case the position of the filter and the filter itself helps keep the airflow uniform and helps prevent turbulance at the MAF. When you put a cone type filter on the airflows through the sides of the cone filter and then into the intake tube. Because the air is now flowing into the intake at a different angle the airflow is no longer hitting the sensor the same way it should which is strait on. Now we have turbulance issues at the MAF. Locating the MAF on a long strait portion of the intake a good distance from the filter helps ease this turbulance issue but does not completely eliminate it. I am waiting for this intake to come out and hopefully someone with HP Tuners will log it to confirm or dispel my suspicions.

So, until this k&n can be tested, hahn's intake would be the way to go? Maybe it would be a good idea for me to wait until this comes out and is logged and dyno'd before purchasing an intake? I am very curious to see how this k&n will perform.

We'll...... You didn't hear it from me but we're looking at 2 weeks or less!!!! I've already cut a PO for 10 of these bad boys but it can't be submitted until K&N releases the system!!! I'm getting excited!!! 
Kind regards,

Alright, who's going to be the guinea pig to test this thing out. If it works better than the other intakes on the market, I'm in for getting one. However, I'm not getting my hopes up.
