Happy w/ my AEM. From what Ive gathered the little MAF tune/corrector makes a slight difference.

I got a better tip for you, buy a 90 degree 3.5" aluminum tube and convert it into a cold air intake instead. Made a more noticeable difference to me and sounds more throaty at WOT.

By the way, my Injen intake does NOT have bogging issues and I do not have a tune and I will never have a tune.

I believe he is talking about the plastic piece at the mouth of the intake. There is a piece inside the bumper cover that is smaller than the metal opening and acts as an unnecessary restriction.

I just ordered an Injen CAI. Stupid question, but when I install it, it is necessary to disconnect the bat for the car to register the new intake?

Yes always a good idea. Let the car idle for about 10 mins as well when re-connected.

You don't have to remove the bumper to get the snorkel. You can just unbolt the top between the headlights then gently peel it back and unbolt the 10mm's holding it in place and then with a bit of contortion pull it out.

Took me about 10 minutes.
