i just installed the 6637 filter today and when i drove it i could tell i had lost some power. As soon as i take off its sluggish then once the turbo gets going then it goes.
before with the stock air filter the turbo spooled up alot quicker.
any ideas on if installed it wrong or maybe the reason that off take off its slower than wat it used to be

Did you leave a rag in the intake? There is absolutely NO reason it should be slower... If anything, the same...

i know lol its good now see what happened i had to rig it with and the pipe that connected had a 4in outlet but a 3in inlet so it was restricting air flow pretty good then i found a 4in inlet and outlet and put it on and now i can tell a big difference now im trying to figure which mood i should do next
