you'd have to do that with anything that has a snorkel no?
I've never removed the ECU when installing (or removing) a PRL FL5 intake.
I can literally have the airbox out in 60 seconds, no big deal.
Man, any tips??? It was such a PITA for me to get everything lined up that I was fully counting on just taking the ECU off to service.I've never removed the ECU when installing (or removing) a PRL FL5 intake.

I loosen the hose clamp at the MAF housing and then remove the two fasteners in the front and the one on the backside. I don't touch the duct, you can leave it in place. At that point you can just pull it out. If you need more wiggle room on the inlet side you can loosen more hoses, etc.
I got the dream automotive ram air. Very minimal removal of equipment and the turbo is loud af. You basically are just replacing the stock air filter with a slightly bigger one. Pretty simple install execpt for the MAF housing screws.
Short rams are great for noise and ease of installation.
What kind of issues? Great looking intake btw!The GruppeM is nice, I probably would have gone that route if I had an FL5. I'd look at reports of drivability issues with an extra grain of scrutiny; I think I recall someone mentioning these types of issues but that could easily be an isolated incident, attributed to improper installation, etc.
For my DE5 I considered Eventuri but went all in on Infinity Design and it's been great so far. I absolutely love the way it looks and sounds, and FWIW I noticed a significant increase in midrange push as well. The shop that installed it did mention they had some issues during installation, but they succeeded.
Nice! I’d thought I’d share my engine bay too.. glossy edition 🫡The GruppeM is nice, I probably would have gone that route if I had an FL5.

Are you on a stock/factory tune? I also read one person say that their car drove fine but a tuner said their MAF readings were still wonky. Not sure if that was just a selling technique for the tuner to get a sale tho.GruppeM user here. I’ve had zero issues with it. No need to touch the ecu during install. You can also reach in and remove or replace the filter while it’s inside the box with it still on the car. I have no regrets with it after 5000 miles of use.
Nice Origin tank and STB.GruppeM user here. I’ve had zero issues with it. No need to touch the ecu during install. You can also reach in and remove or replace the filter while it’s inside the box with it still on the car. I have no regrets with it after 5000 miles of use.
From my end, I have had no issues after adding the Gruppe M intake on the stock tune. 3k miles and no CEL or any idle issues.
