As others have said, that setup sucks in the very hot air that is under the hood. Something that gets air from in front of the radiator (stock, CAI, &c) will make your engine much happier.

Thanks for being descriptive, I'm not much of a mechanic myself so that helps a lot.

I'm not looking to tap everything I can out of this car, it's my DD so until I get another DD and this becomes purely a joyride, I'm not planning on going crazy with mods. It sounds like going back to the stock intake is my best option until then.

I guess my question then is, can I still use the K&N tubes, or do I have to buy post-MAFs made for the OEM box to have smoother flow than the stock 'tubes'? is there any reason I shouldn't use the K&N tubes even if they will work?

Thank you.
