Intake System

Hey i just installed my AMS single catback exhaust. I was going to wait to get an intake system but my car needs a tune because its running rich. I was looking for some input on some. I was looking at K&N or Injen.

Your car was most likely running rich before the CBE. If you plan on getting an intake, do it before the tune. Intake will affect drivability before the exhaust would. There's a few intakes that tend to make the car run a bit leaner which in turn creates more power. I believe that K & N is one of those. Keep in mind that most free flowing intakes are not contributing much at this point in terms of gains related to the intake itself.

Yea that's why im trying to get an intake pretty soon so I can go get it tuned. Thanks for the help with the info about K&N, I think that what I am going to go with anyways.

thats something that i should've looked at before i bought my intake for my evo 8. got a aem and no time to tune it cause i had to deploy. so now it kinda bogs a little at idle.
