I thought I'd post this up...but maybe it's not worth its own post? If not feel free to merge.
I've owned aFe, AEM, Injen EVO and now HKS intake.
With all of the intakes except HKS (I'll explain why below). I've noticed under WOT, in higher rpm range, a slight hesitation...almost hiccup as if the car didn't like the intake. It could see and feel the rpm bounce back and forth ever so slightly and quickly...like the ECU was trying to stop me from accelerating.
I even turned off traction control just to make sure that wasn't the issue..but it always persisted.
They all started out great, but something always felt slightly off after a while. I would then throw the factory intake on and it would act as if nothing happened.
Now I'm running HKS and it of course required its own tune. So far I haven't experienced anything like above.
Why it did that...I don't know...as I see in flashpro calibrations it seems to hint most intakes didn't require a tune (except HKS and apparently eventuri from what Hondata has mentioned).
Something to keep in mind or watch out for imo
