Sounds like the Injen intake itself, which is poorly designed in my opinion. The open faced design sucks in hot air that rises up off the headers and gets trapped under the hood when idling and driving at low speeds. There is no protection against filter heat soak on the front side and the other sides are poorly sealed. Do a search and you'll find lots of posts from people with bogging and sluggish response from the Injen intake even without a tune. I'd get a either a true CAI or a SRI that completely shields the air filter from radiant engine bay heat like the AFE Takeda.
You may not have noticed it that much in the winter months but as the ambient temps get warmer, the heat soak effect will likely be more pronounced.
