57-0597 - K&N 57i Series Kits, 57i International Intake Kit
57A-6034 - K&N Intake Kits, Performance Intake Kit

Those are the 2 intakes made for an 05' lotus elise. Which one can I be sure will be more reliable and easier to install.

And, would a re-tune/ECU flash be potentially also required (or useful) with this?

Without an ECU re-flash, specifically tuned to the change in MAF, doesn't the stock ECU just "re-learn" this, in some cases even REDUCING effectiveness/horsepower? Seems like scores of other threads at least tend to indicate this.

So another short question then would be - why bother?

It seems like their should be a repository of ecu flashes available for common mods without everyone having to take their car to a dyno. Curious what it costs to have your car dyno'd and reflashed since I have never done it (and dont even know if can be done here in Chicago--we have dynos but no lotus ecu programmer person that I know of).

Anyone actually buy one of these yet? If so, what are your thoughts?
