Default RMracing CAI and Exhaust questions

I have the RMracing CAI and am about to get the exhaust system also. I have a few questions about these items.
1) Is the RM CAI comparable with INJEN, AEM, COMPTECH as far as HP and TQ increases?
2) Is the RM exhaust loud in comparision to stock?
3) RMracing claims HP gains from the exhaust to be around 9 and the torque gains at around 3ft lb. The dyno results are on the RMracing website. Is this possible?
4) What is the weight of the exhaust?

Thank you in advance for all the information

How is that a CAI? The air coming in from behind the radiator is NOT cold.

I don't know anything about the RM exhaust, but from what I've read, there ain't any exhaust that produces gains of more than around 3 RWHP. If they are saying 9 RWHP, I wouldn't trust it. Except for weight, Honda did a really good job on the exhaust.

It has an air tube extenstion that goes to a collector cup positioned inside the front grille, in front of the radiator and condenser. See the tube running around the side of the radiator? Thanks for the help

ok, but the filter is still sitting in the middle of the engine bay, and is still going to pull in hot air from the radiator as well as from the CAI tube. it may work great, but it doesn't look like a very efficient design to me. it's pretty though...
