Does the Evo GruppeM use a K&N style filter also? I heard the K&N filter oil could cause issues with our MAF sensor...or is that only if u over oil it!???
yeah, k&n is the filter it comes with. no idea about the oil part.

Off topic sort of, but the exchange rate from US Dollars to the Yen is $1=108.47 Yen as of today..........So unless the website is charging less than or equal too 108.47 Yen .........Shipping, yes, importation, yes, exchange rate, no......your dollar is getting screwed if that is the case.


Nice intake though, some people blow $1800 dollars on rims or tires that don't really do anything useful except add more "bling"....I like it, I'd buy it if it came with a free decal.

it's a little aluminum spacer that fits around the air sensor. when you get the intake, a set of instructions with a picture of it will point out what i'm talking about.

dunno about removing it prior to tuning... i didn't until after i was tuned, thus my problems with the CEL's.

OK, then I will leave it on until I do get the tune and just remove it right before the flash. I'm sure it is a quick process.

Will do, I did see the spacer. I might try to install it without the spacer to see how it does and if I do get any rough idle or other issues I will put the spacer in.
