so i installed my aFe2 intake yesterday without a hitch, took me about an hour, but only because i was very meticulous and made sure i didnt screw anything up. went off without a hitch, even the damn 02 sensor all you newbs claim to screw up. the hardest time i had was figuring out how to unclip the wire to it(lol dumbass me couldnt find the black thing u push on to release it after sliding the red part up) and the lowest screw taht attatched the tube to the housing(i dropped the lock washer twice).
the trick was using a lil bit of gun oil(first lubricant i came across) to help get the temp sensor in and out. made it a breeze.
i reset the computer after the install before even driving it.
let me tell you, it sounds ****in amazing. i was actually suprised at how much more volume it adds to the exhaust note. i didnt expect it to change the sound like that.makes it sound like it coems from all side rather than behind you. love it.
the only problem im noticing is that even with the esp button pushed (i dont have turn key OR any kind of ESP delete, just the basic one...) and sitting in first gear on a line. it feels like it bogs down a bit when i slam in the pedal before it really starts to pull once i get above 10 mph. i can feel the gains there definately. not a ton, but it feels like she pulls a bit harder thru the power ranges.
does it have to do with the computer reset(fuse pull method) or what, but most of the time from a dig it doesnt seem as powerful as i remember it being comin off the line. im not sure of myself tho because of the fact that the car does feel slightly different under power that maybe im just getting tricks played on my mind with the new sound and different pull strength at certain RPMs. i wish i had a solid 0-60 time so i could compare it.
