i haven't read anywhere that you have to oil that filter.. could be wrong.

Not true.

Make sure whichever intake you get you unplug the negative battery line to reset the ECU. The ECU should then be able to adjust to the increased air flow.

will this solve the CEL and allow the vehicle to run properly rather then running lean?

im installing the Takeda intake tomorrow and will definitely make sure to keep the battery unplugged the length of the install and i will update everyone accordingly... wish me luck !

Best of luck! I am looking forward to your findings.

I'm looking for increased throttle response that comes from having a solid pipe and better breathing that comes with a cone air filter. Obviously make a custom heat shield or buy an intake system that has a heat shield, a throatier sound from the intake that doesn't require a sound tube to the cabin and over all a slight horsepower gain BUT I am looking for a system that will bolt up without leaning out the car. The fix so far seems to be installing the intake and or any parts with the battery disconnected. I don't want to have to look into a piggie back ecu until I want to turbo up. Thank you for your advice but there is a method to my madness that won't suffice by a drop in air filter.

The Injen will lean out the car even with an ECU reset (battery disconnect).

This.

I love that u guys are worried about the insignificant amount "leaning" an intake may or may not change.

Maybe do a drop in filter and a silicone intake pipe???

This.

So then whichever way I look at it I'm going to need to tune the engine huh?

i dont know i never had the CEL issue

[Darryljr11]

Since people "claim" the injen intake makes your car run lean no matter what but can you actually prove it? Everyone I know in MD with the kit has had no issues whether they have an ecu tune or not. By the way its a short ram intake not a cold air intake but the filter does sit right in front of the snorkel thats supposed to draw in outside air albeit with a opening that allows some air from the engine bay to come in.
