My issue with this is drivability. I've done this to other cars and the wind blowing in messes with the MAF sensor. At idle you're fine but imagine at 50mph the MAF expects to see xxx amount of air, but then a huge wind blows against the car because its just a windy day. The MAF is expected to only see what it thinks it should at 50mph at whatever gear or RPM you're at. That wind blows in and it thinks the car it going faster than it really is and starts adjusting the A/F ratio. Again I've done this on other cars and it makes it super annoying to drive and it bogs, hesitates ect under light throttle and in closed loop map setting. Under WOT open loop it was fine.

So far everything is fine. Drove it all day yesterday and didn't notice any hesitation or anything. I am Uprev'd tuned, but since I put another exhaust on and this mod I could probably do some adjusting.

Are you going to put it on a dyno by any chance?

I probably will soon since my tune was done in Texas, and I'm living in WA state now. Plus I changed my exhaust setup and running 92octane now. (Texas has 93)

Sweet. Hey how are you liking the litespeed exhaust? I've seen a couple of YouTube videos and its pretty awesome bro! How much did you get it for? If you don't mind me asking

That's good. The MAF is up further in the pipe then I'm used to plus it has the 90* bend to deal with which should slow the air flow in as its not a huge ram air effect.
