I have to honestly say it didn't give me any issues, just the shorter the intake the worse mileage I seen. I think a larger diameter tube is the cause of this issue.

Just did the math by hand from full to empty tank, from 3000 miles of recording and driving responsibly the mileage had dropped about 2mpg from what my slightly longer intake achieved; slightly longer intake also yields best performance.

ddmworks intake yielded amazing results, love that intake... Just hate the funky looking filter.

Just had my local muffler shop cut the MAF housing out of one of my old intakes and bend me a custom intake to the length I was wanting, then sold the other 3 intakes I had tried.

If I attempt this without a tune then I will definitely get a CEL? I'm thinking of either adding a cone type filter to the stock tubing or cutting the air box bottom out and adding a drop in filter..not sure what I want to do...any suggestions?

if you do it right it will run fine.

If I cut the box before the MAF to place a cone filter will I get the same sound as a full intake system?.....the turbo on this car is too quiet: (

Just came from advance auto parts with my spectre kit...all told it was 90$ I live in NY so it prob cost a little more...I'm gonna cut the SAB tube with the maf sensor housing and use that...I bought the complete 3in intake tubing kit cause they did not sell individual sections of piping...gonna tackle it tomorrow!

Exactly what I want to do!! The only thing I'm worried about is voiding my warranty: ( read up that keeping stock maf sensor housing shouldn't throw a cel..
Just nervous I'm gonna f@#k something up....did the boost gauge install without a hitch so I think this should be similar in difficulty

Cold air, no codes, dealers wont bug you about a intake.

I've been in for warranty work with that setup and no issues.

I would have given you mine for the cost of shipping. It's just taking up space in the garage.
