It's hard to say since the Injen intake seems to be the biggest hit or miss for people from what I've read here on the forums. I won't profess to be able to debunk this but let me ask a few more questions :
1) Are you running much leaner? Do we know for sure? Are you getting way better fuel economy since most of what we do in cruise is under 3k RPM, did you mileage go up significantly? Quantifying how much leaner would be helpful as well.
( i Haven't put a wideband on the car, but i could i still have mine laying around from my skyline, this would tell us how lean i run. The fact i said i am running leaner, is hypothetic. As for Fuel economy, i am tracking the car at least once a week, and i never really look for that, still because coming from old japanese turbo car, if you start looking you will be very disapointed.)
2) I assume the rest of car is OEM stock, so you're getting a popping sound from the mid-pipe (post-cat) after the intake install
?( exactly, seems post cat, but doesn't do it everytime)
3) Cylinder temp going up - we've all got that analog gauge - how much more significantly is the temp going up?
(You mean water gauge in dash, i don't whink it will be significant enough to make a difference on the gauge. It was again hypothetic, because this is what usually happens when you are running lean)
4) Lastly, did you put the stock OEM intake back on and see if all these issues went away? I'm particularly curious about the cylinder temp going up bit - that shouldn't be the case and certainly not to the point where temps have gone up that acutely... Hmmm.
(I have been a lazy these past week, i wanted to do it, but i prefered taking care of my brake for lapping and put back the stock suspension for winter.)
