I'm in the same spot. Haven't installed airaid yet due to incorrect threads on air tube. Will install when new part gets here.

I am able to confirm a hesitation below 2000 rpm when stepping on the gas while at a 5 mph roll. I've only tried it once - but watching the tach and feeling the car - its definitely there.

For me - I would never encounter this situation 'in the wild.'. Seems academic.
The closest situation for me would be rolling up an icy driveway - or up our icy road to the blacktop. I in fact do need to be able to creep the car along at 5mph I'm both cases. In neither case do I plan on mashing the pedal.

Once airaid is installed - I will see if the condition is accentuated and / or becomes non academic.

One a side note - I feel like I'm up to date on the feedback thread and this thread and I don't believe I've heard anyone say that they've checked for vacuum leaks after the install. If I have any issues upon install - I plan to get a can of carb cleaner and spray each changed interface and see if the motor revs up.

Regards, brzce.
