These will "wake" the car up a little... and make it even more fun to drive..
Is this the air intake you got?
As I see on so many different posts that k&n type of filters are not good since they allow more particles to pass by and go into the engine, is your xf your daily drive? I am considering to get this air intake before I get the eighter Eurocharge or sprint booster...

Am I missing something here? I ordered the e-tune from them last month and they only sent the cable. The software is available on their website. I suppose a case would be convenient, but I already have a place to keep it....

Looks like they decided to save the couple extra bucks now I guess. Even sent an email "reminder" and got nothing in response. Guess we can call the case a "new release" bonus..

OHHH>.. humidor of the future! I'mma gonna be rich! LOL

Guess they should quit advertising as such also..

What about the G force Performance Chip? Anyone out there installed one, know anyone that installed one in a Crossfire and what were the results? Advertising claims better gas mileage and more HP. Fact or fiction, only $69 bucks. and they are advertised all over the Crossfire Forum, so it has to be true?

In Florida we have a lot of sand. I shudder when I see an open carb on anything. What is the best filter available from a good performance, max filter standpoint ?
