how do i know if its the right one (the new one) or the old design ?

 

If you got it from turbo tech racing, it's the new one.

 

I heard end of Jan to early to mid Feb is old style... after that new style.... I got the new style (made in March) and it was still a PITA.... HINT: leave the little rubber spacer thingy off and just use the nut and washer to bolt the intake to the stock stud sticking out. The filter won't rub the bumper then....


Oh yeah and LEAVE EVERYTHING LOOSE UNTIL ITS ALL IN THEN TIGHTEN!!!!

 

By rub the bumper, you mean when you look down from the inside of the engine bay it's rubbing the metal? Cause mine is doing that.

 

i got mine from a place around my area how do i make sure when it was made the part # the same so im not too sure witch one i have, they told me i have the newer one but who knows if they know what there talking about any other way to make sure?

 

put it on and find out lol, shoulda got the aem but i am biased...enjoy your cel

 

gl hope ya dont get CEL some get lucky

 

i thoguht the injen had no cel?

and im trying to fig otu b4 i put it on if its the right one or not dont wana go throw the work to put it on then find out its the old one...

 

No down in the fender well, if its the old one will push out on the bumber. The actual filter does it.

 

does the intake hang lower then the stock one? because my father was telling me that it looks like it might hang lower and might have a problem with it sucking up water:S

 

all cold air intake pose a threat of sucking up water dont drive in and local ponds, lakes, pools, etc you'll be fine..... they also sell drychargers which is like a condom for you intake filter it is super resistant to water and will not allow alot to go in at once! i got one with my K&N awesome stuff.....

 

i was thinking of getting the dry charger would the K&N one work on the injen filter?

 

No you would have to be going through 12+ inches of water (and slow at that) to have it suck water. I don't think it has enough "suck" to suck a gulp of water in the first place. The filter sits in the same place as stock....

 

yes K&N drycharger will fit! ....

 

ahhh....why not just get the INJEN hyrdoshield....its the same thing and its made for your intake

EDIT: Here's the linkage http://www.injen.com/hydroshield.html

 

i just got off the phone with injen!!! and they tell me that "it should be good"

how do they tell me it should be good:S

 

Have fun!!! It really shouldn't take too awful long.... Don't forget to tell us about it after you take her for a spin!!

 

Happy 1000th post.

 

On your box there is a stamped QC date. Mine was Jan 23, 2006 and it is defective. ANything Feb. 1 or later should be fine.

 

mine is jan23 as well!!!

 

Good luck I've got my new pipe on order from Injen.
Here is my box:

 

I wouldnt even waste your time trying to install it. Contact Injen and get the replacement pipe.

 

thats the same date i have!!! is injen charging you for another pipe? who did u call too get one?

 

I emailed tech support ( tech@injen.com ).

Here was there reply:

If you are having problems fitting the intake, we can send you a
replacement.

Here are your options for the exchange.

1) you can ship us the old intake (just the pipe) after we receive it and
inspect it, we can then issue a replacement.

2) you can leave a $50 deposit, we will then send you a replacement. Once
you return the old pipe we will refund you the deposit.

I opted for option 2.

There response was very quick I'd shoot them an email asap.

 

Here is the deal, We did not know that in Feb 1st there was any change to them. If you have a box stamped QC Feb 01 2006 or newer, it is the revised one. We are only shipping the newest out as of this past Monday when we found this out.

Injen allows you to keep your current Injen intake system on while they ship you the new pipe. When they get the old one back they refund you the $50 that they had you put a deposit down on. They pay the shipping for the new pipe and send a return tag for the old pipe. So in the end you are not out any money and you can have your car running non stop....

I think Injen did a great thing by stepping up and fixing any issues. They are not making you pay anymore for somthing you already purchased. Email us if you need any help, all returns must be made through Injen for this defective pipe....
