Default question

would a 85mm MAF and CAI kit make the numbers any better? the 85mm MAF and CAI kits are cheap mods, but was wanting to see if they made a noticeable difference of any of your cars. thanks

only go 85mm if you are getting the 90mm 90mm setup.

Otherwise make sure you get a tune if you decide on the 85mm maf...cause an untuned maf can cause problems.

id leave your stock maf in. aftermarket mafs and modded stock mafs have caused a lot of problems. there is nothing wrong with the stock maf. a good cold air kit is always nice, but id leave the maf alone.

sure man....either the free ram air mod alone, or a ram air kit of some kind (FTRA, SLP CAI, SSRA, Whisper CAI) They are all good kits. I wouldnt do just the free ram air mod...i would definitely add the kit to seal and direct the air to where it needs to go
