The smaller diameter tubing as you can see is much closer to the stock air to fuel ratio then the larger diameter. What does this mean?

The second graph shows what it means. More power with our tube size of choice then the larger tube. In fact, the larger tube lost power. So there you have it.

Again, for the number of intakes out there, we have had very few legitimate complaints. If you do have a problem, call me (951) 296-6762 ext. 208 or email me brian@kappasphere.com and I will get you taken care of. Some information that will help includes:

Pictures of the intake installed

Pictures of the MAF mounting plate with some indictation of where the front of where the filter attahces.

Any information about what problems you are having.

The exact number Code (if any) that was thrown. I was told you can get this checked for free at many auto part stores. I do not know if it is true, but it is worth a shot. Also, the dealer should be able to run a check for you if your car is still under warrantee.

Keep in mind that there are build variances on cars. Some are stronger then others and for what ever reason, some just won't accept the intake. If we find this to be the case we do not expect you to have to eat the cost of the intake. It is a case by case situation, but we will make sure you get taken care of.

Nice info. I do not agree wth some cars not accepting the intake or not.
