[Miami_TypeR]

Besides the Pipercross, this one, and the Eventuri being released soon. Any other intake systems on the market?

How easy is the install process for this intake?

For which intake system, stock or PRL?

This one or the Pipercross I could do in 15mins easily, the first time I needed maybe 30mins. It's amazingly simple.

The instructions were kind of weird showing pictures of 2 different intakes in the diagrams. if Dream had a pdf posted, I could of asked questions in advance of delivery but no such luck. The 4 mount holes for the airbox did not line up just right. It was an easy fix though ......... I just went up one drill bit higher in size, drilled them out and the box went in nicely. The back mounting tab near the battery needed a little love too. I bent the tab downwards about 10 degrees and then leveled it out at the hole and it fit like a champ. In all my years of modding cars, I have never seen many aftermarket parts fit correctly out of the box .......... but putting your own spin on it is half the fun isn't it? ......... ;-)

Do we know if putting a new intake in (open box or closed) will throw any check engine lights or is the stock computer smart enough to run without throwing any issues or check engine lights?

I plan on getting my fl5 CTR's computer unlocked anyway but was just curious.

So how did you like it? Any noticable seat of the pants power increase?

it feels stronger to me, big air in - big air out with 3" exhaust ........ ;-)

I just installed this intake on my ITS, I’m having issues keeping the filter from touching my hood when closed. Type s terry told me he had to trim the heat shield to make this fit properly. Did you have to trim the heat shield? I also had to oversize the heat shield mounting bolt holes. Thanks. The sounds this thing produces are addicting!

My brother has a DE5 and it fit great after widening the holes a little bit with no rubbing on the hood. On my FL5, I had to deepen the channel of the intake hose area of the box by 1/8th of an inch to get it not to rub. No big deal really ..... just pulled out my dremel and went to work on it then used a little black wrinkle paint to touch it up.
