Preety sure those things just override your MAF sensor or w/e so it thinks that your car is getting a lot of cold air... or thats what i've been told...

Not good lol..

Hey Renz, im also looking into getting an Interceptor Platinum. Thinking about getting it installed and tuned at Pulse Racing - I think thats the best and cheapest place to get it done. Going to have it done around January when I will have reclaimed my driving rights :lol: .
