I had an identical setup to the one you've ordered on my '97 Dak and had no
problems with it whatsoever. I'm not sure what this guy is talking about.
I guess he's talking about a mass air sensor, but I didn't realize the Daks
even had one. I know my '97 Mustang GT has a mass air sensor, but nearly
everyone on the Mustang newsgroups are using K&N's with absolutely no
problems. In fact, they recommend that as a first mod. I wouldn't worry
about it. I think this guy is misinformed.
Just my $0.02
BTW Joe, I have an S-bolt left from my K&N/Edelbrock setup. If you're
interested, I'm sure I could send it to ya. It's not the prettiest looking
thing, but it will surely do the job.
