I bought the Cobb intake and had a chance this afternoon to install it, lots of great review on it. I had a bad experience with install and consider myself fairly mechanically inclined. First issue was no instructions in the box, zip, zilch, nada, not even a picture. Quick youtube search and away I go. Could not for the life of me get the air sensor into the new Cobb tube in the same orientation as stock, had to turn it in the socket 180, then the wire harness didn't connect, the connector was taped back on the wire harness I assume to strain relieve the wires going into the sensor. I had to cut that tape, plug in and then retape in a different orientation to strain relieve the wires. I must have farted with that damn sensor for 3 hours and will be surprised as heck if I didn't damage it with how hard I was twisting, prying, pushing, etc. I eventually gave up and put it in 180 and just went with it. Then I got to the bracket that installs between the two Cobb tubes...good lord, I spent 2 hours trying to get the 4 holes to line up and not strip out the holes...finally gave up on that and got the Dremel out and reamed one hole larger to fit the 4th screw in. Tightened up the bracket and then tightened all the clamps. on the tubes and on the filter. Fired up the truck expecting to get a code from the air sensor but seemed fine, let it idle for 5 mins while cleaning up the ladder and tools.
Anyone know if turning the air sensor around like that (spinning it 180 in its socket) so the air flow is going the opposite way over the sensor in the tip of it, matters or does it not matter which way the air flows over the sensor??
