I have the SRI and want to install it soon when it warms up, but are there any major driveability issues being untuned with this intake? I am just wondering because I plan on driving a few hours for a tune.

 

i installed mine they day before i drove about an hour to a meet. no CEL ever came on but james did say my trims were off like 12% or something i think......no it won't cause any problems short term but just dont go months or something untuned..

 

The K&N seems to be generally accepted as the aftermarket intake that should skew your trims the least, and offer near stock drivability without a tune. Of course, a tune is always preferred.

 

You'll be fine.

 

Where are you going to get a tune? Im only about 50 minutes from Cleveland if your worried about driving too far to get tuned.

 

i drive with my tune off most of the time, with hahn intake, never had an issue, fuel trims are fine as well.

 

I have the k&n Sri and never had a problem and never got a tune yet either and iv had it on for like a year...I do want tuned tho

 

There's an informative thread on this intake here:

I was leaning towards BYT but the 6 hour drive kind of has Mr second guessing because I don't have HPtuners so any retuning would require another long ddrive

 

Send me a PM man, i have hptuners and can hook u up!

 

Haha, i drove for several months (may to aug) with the K&N SRI on my car with no problems at all. Yes he told me mine was off as well. OP youll be good to go, no worries
