<<<ATTN. Injen CAI Owners...>>>

[ortivt6]

Ok I decided since I live in Florida and its hot as hell here during the summer to go head and get a cold air intake instead of the short ram... I rather take my risk with hydrolocked than heat soak... Plus u get more hp...

So here are my question to those who have the injen CAI which is the one am goin with...

-how does it feel on daily driving during traffic hours at low rpm???
-any bogging, its really bad???
-Is there any chance of heat soak at all???
-has Injen fixed the CEL when installed???
-On the FA5 does it have any fitment issue, like the FG2??
-is the hp really noticeble, how loud is the engine at vtec???
-has anyone hydrolocked???
-and last one would u go back to stock???

Every input would be appreciated.... and yes I have done my research...

OHH and pics are very welcome!!!

i have the sri, and i can answer one question for ya.... about driving in the traffic... with a cai, from what i have heard, it basically sucks. with hot air, intake being made of metal and being heated by engine heat, and the intake being so long, it will bog like a mother.... hopefully u can get some more info from other members, and good luck

Driving at traffic is perfectly fine i love my Injen CAI
NO bogging at all i never get any bogging..... never knew this was an issue?
Neverrrrr got a CEL everrrr
i have a fa5 i have NO fitment issues dont even have to cut plastic to make it fit like it says in the directions
HP TOP END is little noticeable and sounds AMAZING i love it
it sits really high i think it would be impossible to hydrolock mine sits almost EXavtly right under my headlight i love my CAI

PS. i have throttle body spacer , throttle body coolant bypass and i have never felt my intake get hot

I wish the Injen made the wrinkle black tubing like the fujita... would the black tube from injen made any differences??? and why would the CAI have heat soak since it sits behing the bumper where theres no hot air???

i always thought bogging is a driver error ? I`m not a perfect driver but i never bog used to bog when i didnt launch right but that was trial and error with rpms

[ortivt6]

^thats true... sometimes I bog on my stock OEM intake... when I switch gears at low rpms... or try to hit the gas hard when am at around 2k rpm...

[amigochief]

my injen cai is great, never bogged in traffic during the summer and it sounds sexy. good choice IMO

[ortivt6]

anyone got pics installed.... or pics while it was being installed???

i'm talkin about when your pipe (since its metal) heating up from your normal engine heat thus warming up the air it is breathing in...

yes, thats true, but also if you are sucking in hotter air, your engine will bog down too. plus, the longer the piping for your intake, the longer it takes for the air your trying to get to the engine to actually get there, thus making the throttle responce a bit slower, and if you let the clutch go when its still trying to get that air, it will bog down a little bit... just a few ways bogging can occure, if that helps at all and if u can make since of it, lol... it makes since to me, but i dont know if u the reader will make since of it, lol....

[ortivt6]

^ok but all intakes are metal except stock... and how does the CAI suck hot air if it sits behind the bumper away from the engine unlike the SRI???

Plus the stock intake is alot longer than a CAI...
