If I'm reading into things correctly then I'm guessing the intent was to simulate an unsealed Injen/ER-type intake; if true, then I think their general conclusion is supported by what was found in that european car dyno. But I think everyone generally agrees that an unsealed tube intake is not the same thing as a sealed unit connected to a functioning hood scoop, right?

Like I said though, I'm interested enough to spend some time on this once I get my ride back next month...
Any updated on your afe intake? Would you be able to better explain with pics about the duct tape fix.

Thanks!
