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.
This behavior is what made me notice the bogging issue in the first place. I had originally thought the lack of low end was just the ecu learning, then it started falling flat on its face.

For reference, I don't hiave the sound tube or snorkel. Not sure if it's related though, because I reinstalled the stock intake without either and didn't have the problem, nor the bog.

Out of curiosity, how many units have been shipped to customers?

I think a new thread might be in order. Especially if Injen intake owners are experiencing similar problems.

I've sent my bog logs to John so he should be able to offer some insight as to what the car is doing.
