compared to what and why?

 

compared to every other intake. because it looks more open to cold air so it will get more air...

 

Compared to my REVi without duct, it looks much more exposed to direct airflow, and I simply implied that these conditions would be more conducive to making power. A lot of my comment has to do with the replica kit paired with the intake.

 

it sucks cleaning my car with the filter right there

 

The mS bumper has always looked like a big mouth to me, now you have a tongue.

Thew K/N works fine in Snowfl8k's 8...I would assume the problems you are having is the CAT.
