The MAF mod doesn't even make it fit. You have to like grind off a whole corner to get it to fit.

I don't notice any heaksoak issues yet though. Once I get my scangauge, I'll do a comparison of intake temps between this and a stock tC intake. The power from this is incredible though. I chirped my tires so many times the first night trying to get used to it. But the power is right there off the line; it's really nice. I love the whistle is makes too.

I don't see why it wouldn't fit. It uses the stock piping and the s/c piping is basically the same.

yea i know it will fit but I dont think the two can perform together..I was reading somewhere that aftermarket intakes like injen CAI wouldnt run well with s/c..something about running lean

lol interesting. i was thinking the same thing as you with the Randode MAF adapter. but since it wont fit, i guess its not worth it to have them machine shop a new one...especially since im a poor college kid Lol. good to hear though that it does make somewhat of a difference in power so its not a total waste of cash AND you get the total bling factor lol. thanks for the info and hopefully the CEL stays off (if it has been off) hehe.

hahah I'm a poor college student too and it was only $20 to get it machined for me. Yeah, overall, I'm super pleased with it, but since it's an ARC product, I was already expecting the best.

CEL's been off so far! *knock on wood*

Looks good and I really wanted it but I'm happy with the Fujita. Really surprised the feel of low end power.
