Default weird experience?

i had an HKS mega flow intake in my car and im having problems with the engine light so i changed it back to stock so i dont get bull**** from the dealer...
anyways the weird part was that it felt like my car had much more power then the aftermarket filter..
anyone switch there aftermarket filter back to stock and feel this difference???

Default Teh HKS is a prticularly bad design. It's aimed right at the turbo, and sucks lots of hot air.

Good choice taking it out!
