Its only going to improve it ... if the air is coming into the engine faster and with less restriction then its only going to be better..

Hi Cartaa,

I have the growler CAI, & have had no issues with low down torque, in saying that, my mate has the FG as well & has the bpr CAI & loves it, no power issues at all. You wont go wrong mate.

^ I have been thinking the same thing. I mean I am sure lots of air gets in under the light but could it hurt to have more?

We have tried this in testing.. the snorkel picks up radiant heat from the raditator and brings hot air into the CAI .. DONT DO IT PLEASE...
