AFE Intake installed
Wow well let me tell you that this is the worst fitting intake,
I have seen. Nothing bolts up just right, so I have screws left over, because none of the holes lined up at all. The instructions are just plain horrible, they don't show or explain where any of the little pieces go. It was throwing a CEL, but then I moved around the MAF because the part that keeps that on does not fit at all. I felt like I lost power/made power. Because now it is easy to chrirp. My car keeps surging as I drive. Im going to wait to take it off and sell this piece of crap it is horrible. EDIT: It runs perfect now and has no issues, I like the sound at high rpms at low rpms feel like I lost a little power, but high feels pretty good and so does midrange

car is running perfectly, but still a crappy intake

The MAF sensor part sucks..all the screws don't fit in and are 2 long.
The little rubber circle fits reallly bad also. I'm thinking about sending it back. But right now it is working, but probably has a gap because nothing fits right
