Side bonus is I am getting improved fuel mileage the numbers are previously with my "less than ideal" driving style (again Vtec and windy windy roads)
I was returning between 6.9 km/L and 7.0km/L on a 120km loop down the around the Hunua ranges
same loop now I return 6.7km/L and 6.8km/L with the same lead footed approach
in traffic the engine seems happier and a bit less thirsty
I highly recommend you get the AFE
Er.... that is actually an increase in fuel consumption...
Less mileage for 1L of fuel
Must you remove the whole assembly to change the air filter?
No the connection from the throttle body to the filter housing needs to in clamped from the filter you can easily twist the fittings or access to remove and replace the filter I will see if I can get a couple pictures sometime soon it’s not as fast as the stock system but it’s quite easy
like stupid easy
more info about that afe. what kind of improvements?
Was going to say the same..... i wanna know if there was a SUBSTANTIAL increase in whp/tq, cuz almost $400.00$ for an intake assy. has to be worth it....
Did a comparison between the oem and afe were made AT THE DYNO .....
also, i have the oem assy. with the k&n filter and sumole air duct, rv6 header, straight through "b" pipe and tanabe medallion axle back..... what other mod do you have to obtain this results......
cuz almost $400.00$ for an intake assy. has to be worth it....
for the price of a ktuner .... vs an intake ... I would personally spend that money on a ktuner. thats just my opinion though. I am pretty sure that afe sounds awesome, and provides wonderful throttle response.

Precisely my point....
This...i got on #GK5
RV6 429.00
Tanabe medallion 349.00
KTuner 649.00
Sumole air cooler 150.00 (something like that, dont recall)
K&N drop in filter 40.00
"B" pipe.... went cheap onnthis one to test it out... 160.00
#BuddyClub CR-Z short shifter... bought from #AxionIndustries
#Acuity shifter bushings, pedal relocation bracket
That's where i feel the afe is a bit steep on price....
I went from a sumole air ram duct + k&n drop in filter ---> to an aem intake --> to a weapon r intake ---> and now back to the oem air box / resonator deleted / k&n drop in filter .... and I can honestly say, the difference in "power" is minimal. car still feels peppy ... without the intake. ktuner ... ftw.
bonus = my mpg is good again ... and the sound is still decent / sporty ish

So.... im good with the oem airbox deleted resonator and k&n drop in filter...right?
Knob took 2 seconds. I will be installing the shift boot collar this weekend as well as buddy club steering wheel.
Drove with the buddy club seat and had an issue with it. It seems to have excess material on the right side right by my ribs. Took it around the track today and I already have a bruise. Decided to install a Ferrari seat we had around the shop for the meantime to see what buddy club says about the seat.

Are you gonna give away the BC seat.....?
Are there sliding rails for that seat?
