Comparisons to bone-stock is pretty much irrelevant:
Disagree, you need to know what if any improvements that its providing you over the stock config otherwise why would you buy it?
I would like to see a dyno of stock airbox with both silencers removed and a drop-in K&N, since it appears that is what most of us have done, at least at first. For those of us who fall into that category, the question is really about the plumbing. Would replacing the bends and the third silencer yield any gains? Since the Airaid does not do this, I would wager that the K&N drop-in sans silencers configuration would dyno identically to the Airaid.
Agreed, thats exactly my take on what's happening the removal of the silencers is why the performance is increasing. Take a look at Rice Killing Gt's Dyno run. He did a before and after with the silencers removed/Stage1 and he ended up with 200WHP like I did

I think we have the same take on this, just semantics are a little problematic.
What I mean to say is that for most of us, "stock" is redefined as silencers removed with a K&N drop-in since that is what the performance-minded would do at a minimum anyway.
