The whole point here is that Matt's done the leg work of validating the MAF voltage on his intakes vs. the stock voltage to ensure they're reasonably close.

Personally, I wouldn't screw w/ an intake at all w/o tuning the car afterwards because there's no real reason for one unless you're already doing a bunch of other mods that will need tuning anyway, but in the situation where you're putting the intake on and have to drive it to the shop or something, you're not going to have any issues w/ the KSTech intakes.
