it says no tune is required... i know some say that but it makes your engine run lean and hurts your engine and performance. Is this true of this intake? Is this a decent intake for the money? Thanks

wow that is cheap, but it looks like too big of an intake to not require a tune...no intake runs great on our cars w/o a tune. Our engines are very fishy compared to the older models. It looks like a knock of c&l intake but Icould be wrong bc bbk is a legitimate company. I'd get it and then if u c ur car not running right, get a tune for it. Hope this helps

 

They specifically state it's a "replacment" on their site, and BBK is a reputable company. It looks a LOT like the C&L intake as well, which requires a tune. I don't know if i'd try it, to be honest.

And yes, intakes that are not tuned properly will make the engine run lean, which isn't healthy and will throw CEL's..

 

where could i get a custom tune for that intake? i'm pretty sure theres no one around here that does that

 

call up any tuner company.....they should be able to whip something up for u.

 

when you do that do they just write a program for your tuner? or do u actually have to have THEM load it onto your car?

 

they write a program for your tuner and email it to you.

 

that bbk doesnt look the same as Dennis074.0's bbk. little confused here. Dennis' looks more like my AEM Brute Force and the one in american muscle looks like the C&L. will the real bbk please stand up? ha...confusing this is
