That’s true, but every little bit helps, right? Plus, the sound alone from my intake is worth it—sounds like I’m driving a race car!

Is it just me, or do these air flow systems seem overly complicated? I’ve faced issues before, but I’m curious if anyone’s had success with DIY maintenance and repairs.

Don’t forget to consider the throttle body! A dirty or malfunctioning throttle body can significantly affect air flow and performance. Cleaning it can sometimes make a huge difference.

I tried cleaning my air filter once, and I think I used too much oil! It was a mess. Any tips on properly maintaining those filters? Humor aside, I’m curious!
