Sxth Element carbon intake was on sale because the carbon weave had some visual imperfections. Inside tube was still smooth. Also changes spark plugs to one step colder in order to prevent spark blow and to support the JB4 I also installed. The JB4 is just a piggy back tune but it’s pretty impressive. Map 0 is stock, Map 1 is smoother and feels like how it should have come from the factory. Map 2 was more than needed for normal streets, losing traction at WOT in 3rd! The gauges in the app don’t seem to be reading the information from the OBDII port so I can’t log so I didn’t beat on it too hard. I will probably just leave it in Map 1 for the time being.

The intake makes such fun sounds. The recirculating valve pipe is no longer needed so it vents to atmosphere. Fun fun fun turbo noises and blowoff, some flutter, huge rush of air is so juvenile, I Love It. Plus on every shift it pops and gurgles on deceleration, the vehicle feels so immature but I don’t care.
