Any updates on this matter?

My first Injen intake was bogging, and I think I found out the issue. I'll let the pictures do the talking....

1st Intake(Bad weld = dead pedal/bogging)

2nd Intake(Much cleaner = No issues)

My review from 2012 on another forum...

Call them up, they're usually pretty good about stuff like this. Show them a picture of your pipe and they'll get you squared away.

How many miles have you put on since you reinstalled the stock one? The ECU has to relearn after you switch the intakes out, it usually takes about 75-100 miles if I'm not mistaken. During that time period you may notice some bogging/lack of power; it's just your ECU re-learning settings such as AFR. Afterwards, it should go back to normal/what you're used to.

In my case, I had an ecutek tune which should eliminate any need for the ecu to learn but it wasn't working out for me
