That is odd. I looked up the MS intake and it only increases air volume by 18% where the dinan intake is 30% increase. I don't understand how there could be power loss unless it was not installed correctly but I guess the real key is whether the car was dyno'd at stock. I do know that not all the cars from stock appear to have exactly the same hp, some sort of variance I presume.
