Did you need a tune after install so the fuel/air mix doesn't mess with your engine? I'm interested, but don't like hidden issues or costs.

While a tune isn't 100% necessary, it is highly recommended. Go ahead and buy yourself a Cobb Accessport, $650 for the new one (version 3) and $550-600 for the older v2 model. Trust me it is a very nice tool to have, as you can also do a lot of monitoring and datalogs of your Subaru.

It's highly recommended but ECU is capable of make small adjustment according to the MAF sensor so you are able to run without a tune.Only issue with this product is that the bracket thing that comes with it does n't fit exactly

The K&N; kit has a slot for the air flow meter that would already exist on your stock intake, and thus whilst aftermarket tuning would be ideal in order to maximise the benefit of the kit, installing the kit will not mess with your engine since the ECU will compensate for the increased airflow accordingly.

It is best to get a tune but the ecu will adjust the air fuel mixture to account for this intake being installed . Most people agree that you will run lean without a tune through .

K&N says no but it is highly recommended. It wont damage anything without a tune but youll get the most out of it with one. If you just have this intake and the rest of the car is stock, the computer will try and re-learn the Air/fuel ratio and adjust automatically. But again, its always HIGHLY recommended to get a tune in search of power.

I wouldn't recommend air filter. These engines don't respond well to a non stock air intake setup.

I have no idea. Mine didn't come with didn't tuning options. I was thinking it did when I purchased it but when I installed it nothing like that showed. I contacted bullydog and they said it didn't work for gas motors which really made me mad because that's what I bought it for

The HP gains are minimal with just the intake. It sounds a little tougher, runs a little smoother. Once you get started on the MODS you put something on you need something to compliment it for it to work. This intake brings a lot more air in so you will need an upgrade in the exhaust, stock pipes won't let as much out. If you have updated your exhaust you will see up to 20 ponies added! Will also make you sound like a true muscle car. I did both on my RT and very happy but not satisfied. Now have the next upgrade to compliment these two upgrades! Hope that helps. Good luck. Have fun

I cannot speak for your engine, however with my 5.3, even with the program now removed. I still have to run 93 octane to keep the truck from skipping. Didn't do that before the programmer. Get a custom tune. You'll Be much happier

You shouldn't have to do anything different if you have the stage one download already. I put exhaust on my 07 softail and didn't do the the intake and filter until later because of the money.

No. I was originally going to run the factory shroud around it bit have found it unnecessary and I live in southern Nevada. Temps have been very consistent even when I'm offroad in low range working the engine hard. I don't thonk you'll have to worry about it.

Well installing a tune can void warranty so I would suggest restoring factory settings before making any trips to the dealership. . Then u should be fine. .

I did a few things all at once, adding the Airaid was one of them along with cat. back exhaust system. I do get a little better gas mileage, I have less low in torque but more top end. I am happy with it overall, it did change the sound of the car a little. I don't know if this helped at all

Also, need tune if installing, even in non turbo models!!! Ull throw censor lights.

Just install the factory tune before you bring it in and there is no cause for concern. Depending on the dealer you could just leave the tune in. Some will have a hissy fit, some won't. All depends on your local dealer.

There was a performance increase and great sound. I have vance and Hines tru dual head pipes as well, race tuner and it was dynoed, also Arlen ness big sucker air cleaner kit. Beefs up the hp and torque. Best pipes going had on 3 bikes. Good luck

Mine was installed on a restoration project. Check with FAST support. They will be able to answer any questions on that. http://www.fuelairspark.com/

not from the factory, no. There are mods available that are easy to instal, or you can have one put in. It will not affect any of the performance.

A slight whistle/"sucking" sound as it draws in air but that is the nature will all of intakes. The custom intake on my 2013 STI does this as well as the prototype intake on my 2015 STI. Will add this, if you are looking for a gain in HP or MPG these two things can only be accomplished with a tune of some type. Most people don't realize changing to a non OEM intake alters the AFR that the car's ECU comes programmed to work effectively on. The $800+ "tuner" that is out there for the Tundra is BS and a waste of money, I tested it when it was released and showed zero real world gain of any kind.

@Jake Schnetzer no I did not throw a check engine light, make sure it is a 90degree angle spacer so you will eliminate your chance of getting a fault at all. Since then I have bought a APR tune with certain deletes attached so I don't have to run the spacer anymore the tune helps. Good exhaust tho would recommend purchasing better 3" exhaust clamps as the ones they provide are pretty hard to deal with.
