FTRA is the real deal yall. I netted a solid and consistent 1.5mph after installing the FTRA and sealing up the box w/ duct tape. And believe me 2000 Ws6 sealed it up real good for me. This was the only mod since last time and everything else was consistent.

. This allows the air to jump over the filter and exit the backside of the filter when pressure builds. Good numbers with the ftra though.

BTW the FTRA is NOT the better design IMO but both products do work well.
