Is it just me or do these things sound like they are sucking in way too much air, like they arent sealing properly? could be the computer videos ( I havent had the chance to see one installed) but the sound on these kinda creeps me out...

does the RRM Intake filter come pre-oiled or is it a dry type filter? I have heard that the oil type filters can ruin the MAF and get the intake tube all cruddy. Especially with the intake pipe only being a straight tube that is a few inches long. I know Aem sells a new filter called like a dry senthetic filter, would it be better to use one of those?

i'm glad to hear that it is a dry filter. does that mean it can still be cleaned using mild soap and water? does that also mean that any oil should not be put back on it? I will most likely just buy a new filter but if i can buy one and wash it once and then buy a new one then that is half as many filters to buy. I feel like a washed filter is still not going to be nearly as good as a new one no matter how you clean it. and for the peace of mind on a new car i feel like buying a new filter is worth it.

OK. First take red battery cable off battery then take out the two little plastic thumb bolts that hold the ram air unit on. Then pull it off. then take out the two bolts that hold the air box on then undo the hose clamp from rubber tube. Remove air box then slip SRI onto rubber tube tighten hose clamp then bolt down SRI were first bolt that held air box on. Then put red battery cable back on and start your car let it idle for about 4-5 min. By takeing battery off while installing you are resetting ECU so it will adjust for more air intake from SRI. Then take your car for a ride and listen to it scream
