After installed, did ANY of you throw CELS? did anything seem to clear them up? i have a diagnostic tool at home so i can turn mine off if it throws one just curious thats all. i think its a bit of an urban myth. JUST VOTE! haha

 

um, i wouldn't go with the k&n...if i were u AEM dryflow. I custom made a k&n Short Ram Intake, and no, no codes. Once n a while I might, but it goes away in like 15-20 minutes. Dryflow is alot better bc no oil... just a though. If u get a dryflow filter, get a hydro shield, it's just a nylon cover that goes over it.

 

You "made" a K&N intake? If you made an intake, itd be your own personal homebrew intake, not a K&N.

 

i have had mine on since about 400 miles and i now have over 21,000 and i have never threw a cel for any reason.

 

mine throws a code every once in a while...its a P0101 code with the MAF... just take it out, clean it with some brake cleaner, and its good to go.

Interceptor gauge FTMFW!!!

 

any intake can throw a code. some do, some don't. either way just delete it and move on.

 

your problem is the oil from the filter is ******* up the mass air flow sensor

 

yep...

 

i did before i installed it

 

Unless you severely over-oil it, there's no reason for it to mess up the Mass Air flow sensor. I have zero problems with mine.......but when the filter gets dirty I'll just buy a new one.....I hate oiling those things.

 

um no. where i come from, an intake is based on the most important part...the filter. i put the pipes together from pep boys, and then slapped on a K&N filter. Hence, K&N intake. The piping means nothing. Whats the diff between what I have compared to anyone else? I have rubber couplets and plastic ones while others have a solid pipe. Only difference, other than the filter. Oh, n I made a breather for the SAI. And drilled my own MAF sensor hole. My pipe is the same size as everyone elses too. There is an old pic in my gallery of it with the **** filter i had on it until I had enough money to buy the K&N.

 

I wouldn't say the piping means nothing. But as long as it's smooth on the inside, mandrel bent, and has the same bends as the K&N, then it would perform similar. Do you also have a heat shield on yours?

 

i put on my k&n sri at 400 miles on the odometer. i now have 4750 or so on the odometer and never threw a cel.

 

mine threw one b/c of oil on the maf from the new filter



you guys and your polls.

 

it could also be that ur tubing or the the hole on the end of ur filter is to small and its not reading enough air coming throw thats what happened with mine

 

well, it has few bends in it, heat shield used to b on. i took it off. it was too much of a pain in the ass and a hastle. however, it's smooth, and has few bends in it. fewer bends = less restriction = more hp. if u think about it, makes sense. i been around cars for a long time now. I added my intake with an SAI before I even knew what an SAI was, and WAY before anyone else even thought about doing it. I mean, if I had known it was such a hastle, I woulda helped everyone summer of 06 when I bought my car and through the intake on. lol. All I meant by the piping statement is that, the filter is the most important. People use PVC pipe for intakes here. I seen 'em. Ghetto, but it works.
