Well yea, I can install intake, just as far as lining up the exhaust and what not, I herd of people after installing spacer having ideling problems and what not, so just didn't know if there were any any tricks or anything to lining exhaust up and spacer.
I don't understand how an intake would cause a loss of power. Cooler air, bigger tube. Please explain

Its called idle volume relearn. Since your putting more air the ecm has to compensate the alphas to get the correct reading of the mixture

Why would this make you loose power though. I thought more air is better.
Would you see gains from it after tuning?

If you need someone to install stuff for you hit up citymunkey... Good price for the work. He is about to do my exhaust for me.

More air is good, but what about your fuel delivery and your spark. That's why you might loose power everyrhings is ran by the ecu it has to compensate for for allbthe other stuff. You might gain low.end but your mid and top end might suffer.

So a tune would fix that then right. They should be able to fix A/F ratio, correct?

And does citymonkey have a location, a shop or anything? Just wondering, I trust they do great work just wanted to know.

Also this is for you Mr. Master tech. I have a rattle coming from under the car. It does not start until car warms up, and its loud at idle, goes away as rpm's go up and smooth out. Its really annoying, super cereal.

Rearry? I was thinking heat shield or even possibly a throw out bearing. Either way, really annoying.
