The MAF table still needs to be rescaled though if the MAF housing size changes. That's just a universal fact for how MAF sensors work. They sense air-flow. Put that same MAF sensor in a larger housing and for the same air-flow reading, more air will actually be entering the intake due to a larger cross-sectional area of the housing.
Yea, it’s not going to make any difference on this car. Everyone talking like the car is running 13:1 compression and 68 pounds of boost.

It’s an intake and it is nice to have options in the market.

You want to throw off your fuel trims, feel free.

Lol, is this a race car? A dirty filter or bad gas would cause more issues. What your speaking is nonsense unless you were significantly more horsepower. Though it seems people on this forum think significant is 5hp.

Why start with a poorly engineered part on your car and then wonder why your LTFTs are +/- 15? People saw it all the time on the 10th gen with these cut-rate intakes. edit: not going to argue about this other than to say, if you are starting with poor fuel trims, while yes, your car is probably able to adjust, if your car ACTUALLY has an issue, your car may no longer be able to properly account for the worse fuel trims or you just might not even notice. I'd rather start with fuel trims around +/- 5 and then if they are hitting +/- 15 know that something is wrong.

How do you know it is poorly engineered? Did you test it?
It’s a basic intake. It will have no noticeable impact.

It’s not being paired with an upgraded turbo, and even if it was it would be tuned for.

Man, it’s been 20 years since I’ve been on a Honda forum. I forgot what it was like arguing over the impact of something that may add 5 hp. I still see all those cars with questionable parts running around 20 years later.

Also, fun fact, no one ever blew their motor with a VTA blow off valve either.
