You ricers & your "cold air intakes"...

the stock setup works fine. Tests have shown almost ZERO difference in airflow with the K&N but huge differences in the amount of dirt let into the engine. Have you seen the size of the throat inside the VAFM? THAT is the REAL inhibitor with these systems. The throat is HALF the size of the intake tube.

It's all snake oil & mirrors, guys....

You don't need more flow, but colder air is good for the engine. Giving a bigger freer flowing intake just serves to shift the power band higher, especially in the 3.slow.
