3000 cfm on high speed. This is guess relative to other known fans.

stock fans seem to be stronger then any aftermarket fans out there (well any that will fit in to a fd)

my guesstamate would be just about 3000cfm as well (but who the hell knows what im basing this on hahaha)

The 4 bladed fan does more than the 5 bladed . So use two 4 bladed fans . The dealer gets about $34 for the 4 bladed fan. My mechanic has this and there are no harmonic thumping sounds . There is a noticeable increase in air flow .

The stock fans are more than adequate, and there's no aftermarket fans that I know of that put the same CFM in that small of a form factor with the same or less current load. You're better off leaving the fans alone.
