K&N CAI problems?
I hate to admit it, but I too had the problem. I was out of gear braking moderately from 50mph and the RPM's dropped under 1000, jumped a few times, then the car actually stalled out. I checked all four hose clamps and found that the one on the throttle body was a bit loose which allowed the tube to pull away slightly. I shoved it back on, tightened it up, and so far haven't been able to replicate the problem.
Glad it hasn't came back, put still pretty freakin weird.

I found out exactly what configuration the engine and trans was in at the time of stall-out. I found that everytime I tried this, it caused the car to stall-out. Place the car into second gear and dring the car up to 3,000 rpm. Push in the clutch and coast in neutral. The car stalled out everytime I did this. This enabled me to do some computer diagnosis. It turns out that the force or the 2 intake sources (CAI and Shacker) while rolling generates too much turbulance. I then placed the stock diffuser into the intake and the problem corrected itself. I have never had the problem since I added the diffuser.
Thanks for all your support in trying to fix my intake problem.

Just wanted to chime in here. I installed the K&N back in mid July and really just had the chance to put some drive time , 300 miles , on it this past weekend. Had no problem at all either on the highway or stop and go crap.
Just my 2 cents.
