Your car will stall because the intake makes air turbulent over the MAF sensor or some such. I have one and had it installed on the car for about 2 hours before I ****canned the MAF pipe and jerry rigged it with the stock tube and the K&N carbon fiber heat shield thing and filter.


Sorry for the poor grammar but that's the jist of it.

Try searching again. There should be lots of info about it. I had one and it looked good. Al from Dynoflash told me to switch because it was crap, so I bought the HKS RS intake.

what other mods do u have?


im thought about getting it before my flash in the fute but changed my mind to a HKS RS instead, i like the way it looks with the cf heatsheild, but if u put it on it often requires a flash or tune to get anything from it

only good thing about K&N is

K&N =

honestly when I first got it I only had TBE and it...ran fine...I then added emanage and BC with crappy tune and it still ran fine...now it sits with other goodies and I dont see a reson to change...am I a little curious to take it off and swap for a test run..YES..but will I get around of spend the cash to do it...NO....I like the way it looks the best for sure, sounds great, and for me performance seems to be a plus as well...
