How much boost are people getting with the intake? I'm peeking at 22-23psi and then dropping to 20 at about 5000rpm. never got above 20 before intake.

I ordered from them as well. I emailed them and got this response:

"They expect these to be available sometime between 8/5 and 8/13. They are literally hand making these 1 by 1 because of the tube design. I have plenty on order to fill open orders."

So looks like more waiting...

Holy assembly line fail batman. I'm pretty sure K&N would lose so much money on labor it would make it not worth it.

they put more ethanol in their gas I think than other states, and the smog in LA is just nasty. I found 91 non oxy gas near my house so I go there

I just emailed the guy and told him if he doesnt give me a definate answer as to when I will receive the intake I want to cancel my order the price is good but Id rather spend $100 more and actually get it before it snows!!! I also got the whole making it one at a time story it seems fishy but at the same time I worked for Flo Pro exhaust and when we made Cascar race series mufflers it was 2 guys in the back of the plant building them one at a time so maybe because of the low production levels its true?? I hope like hell this doesnt turn into a giant **** around trying to get my money back now or my intake...

I installed mine last night, sounds amazing, I love it! I'm amazed at how even more responsive the car is to such little throttle input!! How long does it usually take until the car fully learns the new intake?

idk depends on how many key turns aka starts and distance driven. but with in a week of driving (very little driving) mine seemed to ease into it. pull the battery negative for a minute and put it back on.
