Is that more of a subjective comment without any substantive facts?

Was it mapped for the K&n ? Maybe it was happy to be back to standard box as it was mapped that way ?

Probably due to not sucking in huge amounts of hot air from your engine bay.

Numerous threads and posts to why you don't require a CAIK unless required ie FMIC and if so then properly fed and shielded.
