2013 Mazda NC MX-5 AEM Cold air intake CAI removal + MAF sensor cleaning

In this episode, I remove the aftermarket AEM CAI and replace it with the stock airbox that came with the car. I also clean the MAF sensor. This replacement involves the removal of the front bumper in order to access part of the intake.

So, how many HP did you lose? :) Do you feel some changes on dynamic or sound from your engine? I have similar intake system, and only one cons for me at the moment is filter is pretty close to bumper grill and it could to catch water so easy

I noticed it doesn't Rev as fast. The car had a header so with the intake and exhaust it would easily Rev. Now it drives more like the stock version. It's much quieter, I can now have conversations with my passengers. The intake I would keep but I want to commute to work sometimes with it and don't want to deal with maintenance of the filter and I noticed it was always getting soaked. Not sure exactly if water was getting sucked up but right now this car has to be reliable since my funds to fix it are limited.
