You might have ECU issues, its not straight forward to remove the MAF. I think a place in Aus is selling a Alpha N setup. Otherwise you will need an airbox

dont bother mate, the dbilas stuff is sub par from a performance point of view its been proven to lose alot of midrange for next to no topend end gains, but it does look ok under the hood almost OEM...lol

fitment is not even straight forwards, heater hoses clash, t-stat body clash, throttle cable just to name a few
