Last time I had the intake off on my car, I don't remember the harness for the MAF being that long? Does the OEM MAF harness reach this far, or does it need to be extended?

Hey Mike, why is the intake listed for $449 on xph, but $368 on MST's?

Edit: Oh, they don't deliver to the US right now.

They don't deliver to US retail ever. Their price is for Asia + international shipping for approved countries.

US price is $449 as set per MST and needs to be purchased from an authorized vendor

Yup, realized that after the fact. Thanks for clarifying!

BTW I went back to stock with k&n filter from k&n aircharger intake and stock box with k&n filter has better response overall. Feels a little less laggy. I think the stock plumbing doesn't work that well with closed cone style with headshield.

I doubt MST would sell you a kit that would require you to fab your own extensions. It likely either doesn't need any or comes with them, though direct confirmation by MST or a retailer would be nice.

I wonder if they'll do a dyno run of the K&N drop in filter vs their intake. The numbers are impressive, but it would be nice to see how it fares against other intake options.

Tuned (stock intake vs k&n vs MST) and upgraded turbo (stock vs k&n vs MST) would be great too.

I doubt they will do that comparison because at that point it will lead you to a logical question of HP/$. And If you compare K&N vs this, I bet the K&N is a better value in the hp/$ argument. However, I am sure this sounds better!!!
