Default Almost stalls after intake hose swap

Hi. just replaced my stock intake hose with a silicone one and dremeled out a bit of the front and top of the airbox. Now I *sometimes* experience a lag at idle from a stop. Any help is appreciated.

I changed mine out too and no issues. You mentioned "dremeling" a section. I did not need to do this. Was this mod required or something you needed for figment? I suggest reinstall original piece and see if problem reoccurs. Also post a pic of your dremeling mod.

I also dremeled out a section of the top of the airbox. Learned that trick from another post here. The issue has gone away without me changing anything else. My guess is the ECU just had to "learn" there was more air coming in....
