What are all of your opinions on the C&L mass air meters?? I have an 80mm maf but before I put it on with the trueflow pipe, I wanted to know what everyone has noticed as far as hp gain and performance. Worth it>? Also I hear that it messes up your car's computer...is that true? Is it hard to install?
Please all feedback and opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance [patriot]

you'll have to try it, they seem to be hit or miss depending on your car

Pretty much, there are posts I've read where it works great & some people get high/low idle.

Only one way to find out. Install it and post up. [Wink]
