On a car I planned on leaving alone this time. Great price. Didn't want to do any cutting. Lower end throttle response much better. Did a 40 mile test run this morning. 24 MPG and no problems. It's a start.

Hows it feel? The AIRAID and K&N appear to be nearly identical... So I would assume they would perform very similarly.

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

I feel it more on low end. Faster response from the gas pedal. A little better sound. I know a free flow intake won't do much on it's own but it's the start of a small mod modification list I have. LT headers, X pipe and exhaust. Then a tune.

I Just added mine this weekend to my 2011 Grand Spot with a few free mods regarding the shroud cutting. No codes thrown, no check engine light etc. It was 100 degrees here in oklahoma so hard to tell. But did seem to have better throttle response and the design compared to stock was excellent. Love the look as its nearly stock and the price at 234 was unbeatable brand new. I'll post pics asap. I do have a question though. Will the vararam TB spacer work with this?

Thanks.

Oh and well done to the original poster. Airaid customer service was amazing. We had great conversations via email with the sales team and they know what they are talking about and walked me through every aspect of this intake. Highly recommend this intake for the price and the performance gain/quality. Whether the gains are seen yet, I figure in the cooler whether ill be able to tell more. Plus it makes a nice sucking sound through the open filter, always something I Like to hear.
