Inlet piping vs MAFLESS set up

When people start making more power 550+RWHP, many have agreed that these inlet pipes degrease spool up and add power.

With the cost of inlet pipe kits around $1000 and install about the same (I understand that most will not do this as a stand alone item, but I am looking to), would it not make sense to put that money to a MAFLESS set up ie http://www.911tuning.com/996-Turbo/I...nsor-p-77.html

If going to a larger inlet piping does give degrease in spool and added power then wouldn't getting rid of it almost all together be more beneficial?

Also, it would be for a very small premium and one that you can grow with if you decide to make BIG power?

If the inlet piping cost $800 and installation was easy as you can do it your self like adding an intake easy, then yes it makes sense! You get an increase in performance for a little investment. This is not the case with our inlet being you have to take the motor out which is big $$$! Unless you do the bendable ones, but even that to do it properly you must remove the motor if you don't want to hack up the stock piping.

Even if I had to pay for a tune, I know EPL would charge me very minimal based on the work I have done with him and my experience with them.

Am I missing something or a huge cost going the other route with MAFLESS?

Thanks

Bobby Ali

I have HTA3076 with mafless setup-tune by Protomotive.The car runs perfect!!

I desided to take this way because I did not want to drop the motor only for the inlet pipes.Also the mafless setup is better for high power cars!
