I was just chatting with Bill yesterday about it, and as long as the air goes through the same stock tube that holds the sensor, the computer will still know how much air is coming through and keep the A/F ratio up to spec.

I had the K&N drop in before getting the FIPK and noticed the same as you.....plus a tick louder when ya floor it.

OneTom - you're right as usual! The K&N will not need a new tune. It has no effect on the MAF environment. Longshot, you're dead on too.

That's it - I'm going to take a year off!

As an aside though, I HAVE heard that bad things can happen if the oiling of the K&N is not done properly. This seems a pretty rare thing, however.

thanks for all the help here. Now I feel more confident getting this K&N filter but will still probably upgrade to custom tunes in a year or so. Great website with lots of good information!
