I've seen pics of sand in the MAF where dirt had made it's way past the cones in the front. I think Im going to cut out my panel filters so that the rubber seal is in place around the edges of the box.

$440 for an intake is about $200 more than the best running intake on a BMW twin turbo. I realize modding can be expensive but my car is valued at about $4500. It just dosn't make sense to throw $440 at an intake that looks decent in the engine bay and adds nominal power. If I were driving an SRT6, It would have been my first mod, not my last!
