No you're fine with your K&N. When folks get into modifying the MAF sensors though it can produce larger gains but may not be compatible with garden variety tunes like SCT/Diablo etc. It sounds like they optimized the MAF at the expense of tunability.

Sorry, I'm still skeptical. I'll take the CAI & tune combo over that any day. Plus, the tuner let's you makeother adjustments.

sorry, no believe that though. Marketing at its best maybe but i wouldnt put that on my car
Agreed, did you see the hp numbers before the tune !? Ha. The fact of the matter is that if it's getting that much power out of the intake, which I doubt, that you'd need a tune because of the amount of air that it's flowing.

Again this CAI modfies the MAF opening so it reads the wrong air fuel ratio. This means you can never use this CAI with a tune so you're stuck on the mods you can do. Also for it's price, you can get a K&N drop in filter and a tuner, and have the exact same amount of HP, but also have a free tuner.

no way, BS. when you install a C&L/tune or a JLT/tune (best of the best intakes) most of the power is from the tune.
