you wont throw a CEL, but extra air will make it run leaner.....

so your removing the stock airbox?

if so I wouldn't bother, just get a better panel filter.

Its been shown that the stock airbox is pretty good.

What filter is it?

My BR filter and pipe kit practically left fuel tune unchanged minus having to tune for higher loads. All the extra air changed the way i had to approach the timing of the car :P.

A member i was trying to help out here with an HKS suction unit read normally up to a point like 5500rpms and then the airflow would skew way off and read abnormally high throwing the fuel and timing curves for a massive loop

Just a heads up

I hope it comes with a bracket the stock rubber isn't very stiff and tends to move a lot. Shouldn't be too hard to fab a simple one if you need to
