email or call injen cus u got an old one...supposedly the new ones do not cause your car to throw a code, and dont push the bumper out either...thats just what ive heard anyway.... its gona be a hassle to get your new one from them, but im sure its worth it, talk to SilverSS about it, hes going through the same thing

How hard was it to get the new one through injen? Did you have to go through a bunch of BS with them?

I am having fitment issues with mine also. Even without the rubber shock mount it still fitts really crappy. My intake is a few months old, so that means i have the old intake. To swap my intake for injen's new intake, who do i contact?

My fitment issues were a bit worse then the intake rubbing against the bumper. The way the bend in the intake was, my hood had actually contacted the intake resulting in a huge dent.

As for injen, all i did was e-mail tech support and talked to them. Nice people no complaints.

Bro I have the same problem with my injen cai. I just got off the phone with injen and they are replacing it. All you have to do is email them, tech@injen.com with the QC# from your box, your reciept, the color and your personal info like name and address etc. You can do this without sending yours in first. They will hold a $50.00 deposit untill they get your defective cai back. They send a return tag with the new cai. I'm in the progress of doing this because the fitment is rediculous. Mine is now scratched and the boot doesn't fit flush. Hope that helps everyone with the fitment problems.

I got mine from Turbo Tech last week and it doesn't fit for ****. He still has the bad ones.

I managed to get mine to fit fairly good. I have to make a bracket to bolt it to though. I also have a big mark on the top of it now from where the hood rubs on it.

um, no...I did it and it worked. You do have to be careful though. Its sturdy and a PITA to bend, it can be manipulated.

I got mine from TurboTech as well so all the polished cai's he has in stock are the old ones apparently. Injen is swaping mine out soon.

I thought Turbo Tech was supposed to have the new stock in. I would hope Turbo Tech sends the old stock back and gets the new version from Injen. Instead of using having to go to the trouble of trying it out and finding out it's the old stock.

We do have the new stock in, are you guys sure... as of this week all intakes shipped out are the newest.... Unless we had one mixed in the batch. Call Injen with the QC date on the box. They will tell you if it is the new design.
