Thanks! I just found those exact posts probably as you typed this. lol

Why did you remove yours? Any problems or did you just get a full intake instead?

EDIT: hope it works! (I've heard talk about the elbow collapsing... ?) I just ordered the parts!

Had it installed with stock snorkle/filter/tune and was getting a slight hesitation @ low rpm(just off idle). Not sure if it was trying to collapse but I'm inclined to believe Matt/ZZP when they indicate more power is available with certain airbox configuration/tuning.
Back to stock for now until more is known.

Just buy a used AEM intake off of a member. It may cost you a few bucks more, but I am sure someone on here would sell you one for 200 shipped, or less.

mine will be up for sale in the next 2 weeks. SSfamilywagon will be pulling it off since I am in the stan. 120.00 shipped.

will be going a different direction with my setup. And this will be a plug and play setup with no need to source out the peice for the PCV hose

Not the snorkel mod... unless they specifically dig in that area.
It wouldn't take much digging but honestly I doubt they'd even say anything really. At first glance they won't notice.
