Intakes that change the MAF housing size can throw off fueling. We outline dyno sheets for this vehicle on the application page of our website.
Sorry just wondering what does that mean throw it off?

There's a dyno for the gains of this vehicle on the application page. It does not say anything about the intake, but I already told you an intake with an altered MAF housing size can throw fueling off. Meaning fueling won't be correct due to the intake.

Aem intake for the k20C will be fine but the K&N short ram will throw off fueling by 20%

I’ve had both ....I had to retune for the K&N for fix my fuel trims

That's pretty cool! I want the downpipe but I'm afraid it will be too loud for a daily driver... Do you have any videos of the sound with a stock exhaust?
