Just curious as to why you’re switching back, and from what? I’ve been contemplating putting in a S&B intake, but have mixed feelings about the benefits…Switching back to OEM Air Intake
Lost these two bolts. I’d buy a
box of assorted metric flanged bolts off Amazon but would rather go to Home Depot and buy just two bolts today after work.

HA good ol karen's and their visual bs for inspection regarding CARB certifications. NY started something similar a few years ago, and they added tint to the inspection too. Shit's been getting out of hand.The intake I have on now will not pass visual inspection in CA.

There is a YouTube video wherein a guy compares the stock intake against the S&B, and gets noticeably worse performance with the S&B. It's a two-part video and the second part is the actual dyno video with results.Just curious as to why you’re switching back, and from what?

Easiest thing is to move out of commifornia altogether!The intake I have on now will not pass visual inspection in CA.
Except for their prices.ACE hardware is always your best friend when it come to needing odd fasteners!
Think that's bad? Here in the Central region of the Democratic People's Republic of Marylandstan we have to do "emissions tests" at $30 a pop every other year. They plug a scanner into your OBD2 port to tell you the same thing the OBD2 system would tell you for free.HA good ol karen's and their visual bs for inspection regarding CARB certifications.

Is the Bay Area different that rest of the state? My 2018 didn't need smog inspection until this year. Unless you're selling it.The intake I have on now will not pass visual inspection in CA.
