Its not really all that bad. Tuning your fans to come on earlier with a 160 t stat will heal the boo boo

Are you are removing all of the a/c components with it? If so it should run cooler. Iam taking my air conditioner out right now for Chris1313 Ram Air. I almost got it all out then the damn rain came.

ok so I was curious and wanted to check. I didnt remember right so I was wrong. It says 10-15 degrees hotter in stop and go traffic. And thats in really warm places.

I watched my temps with the FTRA It went up maybe one or two degrees but thats with a/c still. The A/C blocks more air flow then the ram air will so if you take it out it should drop

Yea i read that it didn't effect hwy driving but imo the mod is a scratch. I dont have an LS style intake setup but I honestly wouldn't waste the time w/ this.

2 questions:

1. How much of a difference does it make when you're running without the extension on (for the street)?

2. Do you typically see an increase in your MPG?

this is a good thread. ive been thinking about picking one of these up, then i noticed you had to remove your a/c and i decided no. Now i see they offer another one that keeps your air, but results on et and mph arent as much correct?
