Maybe the dyno I used sucked, maybe it didn't, but I gained 12whp with my ALTA CAI. And my butt dyno was pleasantly surprised at the noticeable improvement in throttle response and better breathing past 4500rpm.

So, in my experience the ALTA is much better than stock.

I wasn't talking about the CAI (I have it ) was talking about the silcone hose supplied with it.
