It's called the placebo affect.

Agreed... Not saying butt dyno needs to replace the scientific method... There also could have been more factors like my old air filter coulda been dirty etc... I'm just a little hesitant to jump on the bandwagon some people on here are saying "INTAKES BAD!"

intake is a valid mod, but if you are just bolting something on untuned then it oughtta be the exhaust, where you'll actually gain real power... then add the intake and tune it

LOL, some people are so funny. After a testpipe, I can believe some might be able to tell a difference with their butt dyno, but after a intake or drop-in filter.....NO! Definitely a placebo affect. It's funny how some people's butt dyno is even more accurate than a real dyno.

Oh lastly, definitely an exhaust!
