This is awful. I love the sound my intake makes but if I'm losing power this is inexcusable. I can't seriously imagine.... all that time was spent on r&d to make an intake that performs this badly? |

I'm not going that route but thank you for the advice.
This is not AJUSA's problem, the manufacturer can learn from all of us

This is very disappointing news, back to square one for me...  |

It shouldn't even be that expensive. I'm willing to say most of the problem comes from the design of the box. Look at the AFe takeda and how the opening of the box goes far forward and if I remember correctly, even ever so slightly through the opening behind the bumper.The airaid doesn't quite come close to this and other members have suggested this lends it to pulling in more hot air around the radiator.
In the long run I wouldn't care about paying for another intake (afe) but I'd really like Airaid to resolve their issue because their customer service is second to none. Let's hope that shows in this situation too.
Anyone agree?

We would encourage everyone to take a step back for just a minute. We've had nothing but positive comments from nearly all those that have installed and used our intake system (with one notable and very vocal exception, which we did everything we could to make right). Look back through this very thread. Those of you with the intake installed, don't you think you'd FEEL the 10% reduction in power that this test claims? With an A/F ratio below 10:1, wouldn't gas mileage have tanked after install instead of going up as many of you have claimed? We have voiced our position in that thread, and TAP Auto has reposted it here. We would encourage everyone to examine the information put forth, compare them with your own experiences, and then draw your own conclusions.
