Ok heres the deal. If you can get the cyclone intake manifold to actuate properly then i would stick with that. Personally I can't say that I have ever seen or rode in a car with a cyclone but I think that the intake mani has alot of potential. Yea it will flow 1 CFM less then the USDM intake mani but you will feel alot more torque in the RPM range that you have it set to open in. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=224551&highlight=cyclone go to that link to see how to properly actuate it if you wanna keep it. As for the USDM mani yea it will flow 1 CFM more of air but that is so miniscule that you wont notice the difference, but you won't have to mess with trying to use the cyclone intake properly. Cause if you don't get it to actuate properly then it is worthless. Just my .02
