Default So I think my engine may have been choking a bit...PICS

I decided to clean my air filter and maf since it hasnt been done since I purchased the car.....

This is what came out of the air filter just from shaking it around a bit





I would say a good 3-5 table spoons worth of dirt and ****!!!
needless to say I think my car will be breathing much better now lol

Jesus crist! I've never had any of my filters close to that dirty (CAI in my truck, K&N on the quad)! I guess that's a great free mod though haha.
