accept it there is nothing you can do your car is not going to blow up or anything.I know it sucks but it will happen when more parts are available.Until then don't worry about it it is not that big of a deal

Default Or so i've heard

I've heard that some intakes...that don't have a piggy back ecu...rather than gaining the estimated hp, it decreases it by that much. The reason for this is because it fools w/ the cars ecu, it messes it up. Or atleast that's what i've heard. I've experienced this by racing a stock IS. and loosing w/ my intake and exhaust. SO thats the problem.
