Hey guys I have an 06 SS/SC...is there a CAI or ram air intake that doesn't throw a cel code? I need one that doesn't throw a code EVER...not just for some people. Is there such thing?

 

yup its the stock one.

 

I have had my K&N for about 4 months and have never gotten a cel.

 

I've had my K&N for 6 months with no cel.

 

AEM :

 

My AEM throws me a code when I push the car fairly hard, but only since the weather started to turn cold. Never had a problem in warm air. It goes away after a while tho, so it's no big deal.

 

I have the Fujita. No codes ever.

 

The Injen intake probably has the best reputation for not throwing a code. If you get a code though, it means you just need to recheck you installation. Our cars are very sensitive to the slightest changes made.

 

ding ding

 

7000 miles on my AEM with no code, and 5000 on the KN filter before that with no code, either.

 

if you're this worried about a cel, you shouldn't do ANYTHING to your engine at all... that's the only way to say that you definitely will not get a cel... no performance mods whatsoever

 

I had fujita and never threw a code from it

 

I'm not "WORRIED"... but I would like to get info from people who have a CAI who has not had a code...ever.

Besides...since I have literally 280 miles on my car...I'm not in any hurry to mod it until I get all the facts on what it is I am putting on it...including something as simple as a CAI.


Thanks to the people who answered

 

XTC intake, ive only had the CEL on once and thatce because i forget to tighten a clamp.

 

I've *heard* good things about the JBP intake not throwing codes

 

XTC! No cel, runing strong.

 

the fujita i have threw codes once in a while when i first got it but then i never had a cel since and i have the k&n drycharger so taht helps too

 

does injen come dry or oil???

 

good question FDNY

 

search for "Airbox Modification"

costs $25... no codes...

 

I just had my car worked on last week and GM has a reflash for the P0171 code. I have a K&N Typhoon CAI. I told the service writer I installed a CAI and he said they had a reflash for the PCM. It was covered under warranty too with no problems.

On my service order it says Bulletin 060604033.

Hope this helps

 

Yup ^^^^^^ I had the airbox mod pretty much since day one and always had a code.

They finally had a reflash to get rid of the code, and its been off ever since.

 

I have the fujita and it threw codes, then i took it back off and made sure everything was tightened up, didnt connect the support so it would fit better and haven't had a code since...that was a week ago though. Also yesterday I had the PCM updated and WOW! no more idle surging when under a heavy load and no p0107 code. So i would totally recommend for anyone with a CAI and/or if you get that idle surge to get to your GM dealer and get that reprogram!

And as far as intakes go. I am LOVING the fujita (no i didn't pay 350 bucks for it either!). Just make sure everything is nice and tight and you should have no probs. Our cars are just sensitive when it comes to air intake.

 

drop an AEM dryflow filter in.
Proven dyno gains 7-8HP and not a chance of getting a code.

GM service wont even bat an eyelid at it either.

best $40 i ever spent.

 

yeah I forgot to mention, I put a AEM dryflow on my fujita because i didn't want to deal with any issues with having an oil'd filter.
