Default Put the S-flo in last night... fitment was not good.

the maf Housing doesn't sit flush with the airbox. I'm not sure the o-rings on the S-Flo pipe and the airbox are enough to keep it air-tight. It's nearly flush on one part, while maybe 1/4" or so off on the opposite side.
I also didn't feel any butt-dyno difference, and it didn't seem to improve airflow (g/s) but it's hard to tell given how many other problems I'm having (O2 issues, EPC light, etc.)

I'm interested to hear what others say, because I have the same thing and the same concerns.

Default I'll be the first d*ck head. "Told you so". It's a piece of crap dude. Sorry, but

it is of zero use. Unless you consider gaps with your accordion and boost leaks useful.

Sorry man.

Be thankful you don't have a Bosch MAF. It would of FUBAR'd that too.

well the fitment issue should be reason enough for AWE to take it back.

It claims 10 hp and you know how those claims go. So butt dyno effect is imperceptible.

I agree. Thought you were gonna try to sell it? Let's see who can give it away quicker.

Yeah it seems to fit that way for everybody. I've kept it on but using a different filter with it.

Default I will vouch for it and say that I do believe it's smoothed out the car a bit. Not sure about the

power but it certainly didn't hurt.
