I have a mac cold air intake on my 05 and it has the factory filter gauge on it and if you reset it within a day or two the gauge will be sucked in just about all the way. Anyone else have this problem? Filter looks clean. I called Mac and they said that it was suppose to do that since it flowed so much more air? What do you guys think? thanks

I have an 03 Chevy with a banks Stinger system that has a mac cold air filter on it. I just ignore the indicator and clean the filter at every oil change (about 8500mi) I have not ever had a problem. I'm probably cleaning way too often but clean is better for me.

doesnt the little gauge work from vacumm? so wouldnt that mean that the filter is more restrictive?
