I noticed 1 MPG better, but that also went way down once I felt the RWHP gain lol

I have the AEM Brute Force Love it and it really stands out in the engine. Plus it comes with a heat shield.

Eimer, is your wiring for the air temp sensor tight? or is it a little loose for pull?

I will grab a better pic of the air temp sensor, but from what I recall its got slack in the wire, its looks like its tight in the picture but I am pretty sure its got like an inch of slack.

Got my heat shield to fit! I guess with the newer (08-09 +) models they changed the way the pipes are coming out from the A/C compressor, you could see the difference if you look at Eimer's pics above ^ that's why it was tough to get the tube through the heat shield correctly, in my opinion lol
