^ Very true. You probably over-oiled the filter. If you haven't thrown a CEL or anything of the sort yet, take the MAF out and gently wipe it down, GENTLY. Then clean it with CRC MAF cleaner.

There's no need to clean the cone filter with brake fluid IMO. If it's been two months since you've bought it then there is probably hardly any oil left on the filter. Just oil it up again, but don't over do it.
I still think you should have went with SRT or the Weapon R intake.

^ Haha. This dude is awesome.
It's like he's drunk posting 24/7. I had to read his previous post four times to figure out what he was trying to say to me.
and yes, I still remember. I have a good memory.
