Alright Im back. Ive had this intake on my car quite possibly for more miles than anyone at this point - and never had any problems with it. At one point during development I thought I had lost some gas pedal feedback or gas pedal sensitivity. However, the intake was removed from the car and I drove it a couple hundred more miles back in stock config and the pedal feel/acceleration feel was unchanged.

Im assuming for me it was all in my head, once I put back on the intake at a later date it was all the same. Im sure that my throttle pedal has always been a bit 'laggy' since the day I bought the car and I just try not to think about it, I typically double tap the gas pedal when starting from a stop just to smooth the response out, I think its tied into the accidental gas pedal press safety nanny installed in this car.

I love the production intake though, better finish than the prototypes for obvious reasons, and a bit better sound too.

I think if you are honestly having problems with the intake on your car, remove it see if the car returns to normal.

Im just glad when I found this thread that you guys are jumping all over AIRAID, as their product and service is top-notch among the industry. If a legitimate problem can be identified as being the fault of the intake specifically, Im sure they will help to resolve your issues because they are pretty kick-ass like that.
