Uprev or not?

They pull hot air in from the engine compartment. They're worse than stock. On a dyno you're ok, because the hood's open and the fan is blowing on it. It'll show some gains. In the real world with the hood down, it's a hot air intake. The stock intake is less likely to heat soak since it's not metal, and the airboxes pull cooler air from in front of the radiator support instead of hot underhood air. That's why drop in filters and MAF tubes work so well. You're still getting cool air.

Chuck33079, which CAI you will recommend???? I have FI CBE + Res Tespipes, with K&N Typhoon... I am expecting to make the uprev in the next couple of weeks. You think that if I make the reflash with the Typhoon, i will need to reflash again when change to CAI?

I can't speak to the K&N setup but the OP was talking Stillen Gen 2.

STILLEN Generation 2 Long Tube Dual Intake Kit With Dry Filter 402851DF | STILLEN

These have cold air boxes and are specifically called cold air intakes. Shouldn't be worse than stock.

That said, I don't have the gen 2 but was thinking of going that route since I am not really interested in yanking my bumper every time I want to work with the filters.
