Default Wimmer Intake

I was thinking about installing a Wimmer intake on my '06 FXSTi, Does anyone have any experience w/ this? If does it require any modifications to the fuel injection?
Thanks

Default RE: Wimmer Intake

The purpose of a new air intake (or exhaust) is to move more air into and out of the engine. If you move more air, you must move more fuel to keep the ratio correct. If you don't have to tune the computer, then you didn't add any extra air flow.

Go to the wimmer web site. They have a chart depicting air flow for various intake set ups and filters. If you pick one that matches your current air flow, then you won't have to tune the computer.

Installs easier than a stock unit. Make sure you get the top breathers.
