Just curious
My intake won't be here till Tuesday, I have not had any of idle, hard start, or chirping issues. I will also provide video feed back with before and after results.
After seeing John mention a Car with a different intake having the same issues with n without a tune maybe we should starts thread inquiring about who is experiencing these symptoms with any after market intake. this problem based on what john mentioned seems to go beyond just this setup?

Ill answer your questions in the order in which they were asked:
-93 octane
-Nope

Im assuming for me it was all in my head, once I put back on the intake at a later date it was all the same. Im sure that my throttle pedal has always been a bit 'laggy' since the day I bought the car and I just try not to think about it, I typically double tap the gas pedal when starting from a stop just to smooth the response out, I think its tied into the accidental gas pedal press safety nanny installed in this car.
I love the production intake though, better finish than the prototypes for obvious reasons, and a bit better sound too.
I think if you are honestly having problems with the intake on your car, remove it see if the car returns to normal.
Im just glad when I found this thread that you guys are jumping all over AIRAID, as their product and service is top-notch among the industry. If a legitimate problem can be identified as being the fault of the intake specifically, Im sure they will help to resolve your issues because they are pretty kick-ass like that.

I've got >800 miles on this intake already, 10k miles on the car itself. There is a very big difference between an engine bogging and a pedal that lost sensitivity.
I was in traffic today, rolling at about 2k rpm in first gear. I attempted to change lanes and I gave it a bit more then half throttle. The car fell on its face. The engine shuddered, as though it was choked. I had no power, so I backed off the throttle. It was about 85* and moderately humid at the time.
I dont have the sound tube, I don't have the snorkel. Aside from the intake, the only engine mods I have is a Perrin crank pulley and Johns Stage 1 tune. I've never had this happen with the stock intake. I plan on flashing the OEM tune back on the car and seeing how it reacts.
And I want to make this VERY clear, since there seems to be a misunderstanding among some of those posting in here - I am not badmouthing the intake, Airaid, AJUSA, or Keith. This is a feedback thread, and I am only posting an issue that I noticed after I installed this product. Whatever the culprit is, I have no doubt in my mind that it will be fixed accordingly.
