See the part about the modded factory airbox. The K&N Drop in is the reason for the MAF skew but the AEM elbow causes the surging on cold starts and when letting off the throttle.

You should also add info about the airbox mod without using that AEM elbow. That would be my 2nd choice as best intake. Snorkel Mod + K&N drop in and stock elbow made 4-5% LTFT (can't remember if it was +/- tho)

It is within 1% of the airbox with the drop in only. Removing the snorkel completely is a bad idea because that snorkel acts as both a velocity stack ( the bell shaped end helps funnel air) and also helps straighten the incoming air some before it hits the filter. Removing the snorkel while running a K&N Drop in filter causes a -7.2 LTFT and -17 to +10 STFTs because of lots of turbulance over the MAF.

Thanks. I ended up accidently creating 3 of these threads because this site is so slow it never loaded the page and I kept clicking on the submit thread button. I got rid of the other threads. This one has some updated info in it as well.

The couplers need to be resized (cut down) and reinforced because they crush, kink and collapse easily.
Tuning this car for an intake is difficult to say the least but there are large gains to be had especially in top end power compared to the stock airbox.

I have never seen a third party dyno sheet or any other dyno sheet showing the gains with either of CIAs intakes so I am not sure. Normally if you are tuned and you add an intake (tuned for of course) there is a noticable difference in acceleration shown by my data logs. I can feel the difference in my car especially at 24 psi and the logs show a difference in both airflow up top and shorter hwy acceleration times.
