New ETS intake?

I tried quite a few intakes before I went SD, and all the metal one's had the same results...crappy idle, 12:1 afr's at idle at times, dead spots in the maf frequency, fuel trims jumping around with no consistency. Only 2 intakes I tried with any luck was the stock one and the Perrin silicone one. This new version might work a bit better though since there's a silicone hose connecting between the maf and the metal pipe.
FYI, the adapter they use on their kit is the same one I used throughout all my tests, so no worries with that.

I had the original and a bunch of issues came up while tuning throughout the last couple of years. The whole time I thought it was the cams. Buddy of mine told me to switch intakes because he was sure it was my intake pipe. He had it and switched to the new one and all his issues went away. I was skeptical at first but grabbed one of the new ones while the sale was going on. Put it on and immediately there was a difference. Car was no longer stalling with heat on, wasn't running pig rich at light throttle causing the car to freak out. You name it it cleared up. Car absolutely refused any timing at peak torque before and now my tune has already gone up 4 degrees there. This made me .
I definitely recommend the new style intake.

I've got one, and I have been back and forth with ETS for months now about the fitment. Quite simply put, it points right at the battery and by the time you add the air filter it is pressed hard against the fuse block. And this is only workable at all by shoving the pipe waaaaaaay into the coupler for the MAF creating this situation. If you don't shove the pipe like the pic shows, the assy is too long to even get the filter on.

Have you resolved anything yet? I wrote Michael to get his take on this. I'll try and post up some pics later to show what I'm talking about.

I am running the new intake.
1. No idling issues
2. Ya the final resting place of the cone filter isn't ideal, but it still works and is still sucking in air. I didn't think it was a big deal, but I guess I can cut the intake pipe a bit if I feel like shortening it up.

I just received my ETS inake in the mail today. What should i prepare for? I have the 94170008 rom. Im thinking of switching to v5.10. Can the intake be scaled with the stock rom?
