You're probably better off just getting a good tune and if you really want to improve airflow, remove the snorkel from the fender to the flex coupling on the intake. That'll give you the same benefit without worrying about lean conditions or water-fouling your filter.

Take care.
Bill, I hope this isn't a dumb question but does the same (stock provides enough airflow) hold true for cat-back exhausts? Thanks.
