I haven't gotten my airbox finished yet; I'm just using something out
of cardboard and duct tape right now (and there are a few places
where air could leak, so it could definitely be better), but that gave
me somewhere in the neighborhood of .2 and 2mph.
Here's the deal on the Pro Glass vs Keystone thing:
Pro Glass created the hood, and they used to mold it themselves. The
demand became such that they couldn't build them fast enough with their
facilities, so they looked around for someone who could manufacture them
in greater quantity, while still maintaining a high standard of quality.
They were happy with the work that Keystone did, so thats who they chose.
I'm not sure what the exact deal is with Keystone, but Keystone actually
puts the hoods together, and Pro Glass gets them from Keystone at cost,
or whatever. Anyway, Keystone sells the hood also, under their
"Good Hood" name. A part of the profit of the Keystone hoods most likely
goes to Pro Glass.
So basically, the hood belongs to Pro Glass, but Keystone builds them.
So yes, the hoods are exactly the same. In fact, if you order from Pro
Glass (the cheapest route), it comes in a Keystone box.
