...

maybe because the review was before the dyno???
it may have even been months before the actual dyno ...

Alright, well, would you mind posting it now? I have been unable to find a dyno showing definite gains with the Injen cai.

Tom1222 · 09-03-2007, 10:10 AM

Injen cai dyno results please

I can't find the one I was looking for but there are other links also on other forums that showed a definite gain with the Injen Cai. 8.5-13 HP gain. I am more likely to believe the 8.5HP but nevertheless it is a gain

No matter what anybody says. I had my Injen Cai now for more than a year and it has definitely helped with performance and not only because of the increase of engine sounds. It pulls harder through the midrange all the way to the upper rpm range. I really don't care too much about little numbers on a sheet of paper. It is more important how it feels to me.
It is the first mod I have done to my car and I don't regret it one bit.

I agree. If I can get rid of the random cels it'll be perfect.

Never had a Cel with mine. 15 months and counting

AEM are the ones that usually have Cel problems and not the Injen Cai's

The injen ones have it too occassionally. I sent mine to injen and they're sending me a new pipe and I'm gonna go ahead and clean my maf sensor again and hopefully I'll be ok this time.

I have had my Injen SR for almost a year and No CEL. I love it. I have had the K&N drop and now the SR and its well worth it.

They used to have them all the time, they don't have them so much anymore. All I've been hearing about lately is all from injen.

Hmm, news to me but anything is possible. I guess that means the AEM are new and improved (Probably relabled old Injen Cai's

) and the Injen Cai are new and unimproved.

Sounds good! I'll do that once I have the IMG installed, that shouldn't be long.

abarab · 09-04-2007, 09:26 PM

Hey i just installed my Injen CAI and i love it. Haven't had a cel yet, But if I were to have one (praying that i don't), how long would it take for it to show?

My first one popped up after a week of driving and then they reoccur around every 100 miles or so sometimes.

DakidzSi · 09-04-2007, 09:32 PM

Haven't had a CEL at all since my install. I hope that doesn't change

***Excalibur*** · 09-04-2007, 09:50 PM
