So once I took everything off I couldn't even fit my OEM intake in. I literally had to take a lighter to the upper duct to loosen up the plastic so I could stretch it out. Eventually the OEM intake fit but now I don't want to put the AFE one back in. I called AFE up and their tech said they'll give me a call back. Anyone else have this issue? This intake isn't so popular, only reason keeping me from switching over to the BMS is because that's an open intake and it gets HOT summer time around here.
Is this issue consistent? Have you switched to BMS? I have bms intake but was thinking to switch over due to the same heat reasons.
