DO NOT USE THE MESH FILTER! All that does is filter large particles it doesn't filter dust whatsoever! go buy a real filter!

but yes If you do it right, you can have an intake that performs just as well as K&N / injen for a fraction of the cost!

Thats your choice. short ram is better for low end, cold air is better for top end.. all comes down to your preference!

that is not a better set up that stock, all u did was add more piping for your engine to suck thru, more resisatnce, less velocity, not worth, i dont even see ur MAF, definant CEL, that is useless dude, if your going to be cheap, be cheap the right way

You honestly think an Injen is gonna be that much better than this setup? Its an intake, its not a different in 30hp, its a difference in like 5-10 and sound. Lets say your getting 8 now, for 300 bucks you can get 10. Is it worth it? Thats up to you.

Leave this setup, spend the money on a seperate performance part, your not throwing codes, im sure it sounds good and your getting more air into your engine.
