Awesome DIY! Thanks. I did mine today and didn't have to cut the fender at all in m 08's Sedan SI

BATANG CITY JAIL · 03-11-2008, 02:01 AM

how come that this DIY is sticked and not the others?

***FijiPhil*** · 03-12-2008, 02:00 AM

What a great diy, I installed mine today and was a lot easier to do than i thought. Took about 2 hrs but worth every hickup. I used all of the stock clamps they worked fine.

iamjust2fast · 03-14-2008, 11:12 PM

hey whats up has any one experinced any rattling from the injen cai and if yes did you solve the problem and how?

yobbr5 · 03-14-2008, 11:39 PM

ive had mine on for almost a yr now and no rattling. you just have to check everything before you but your bumper back on. thats just my experience with it maybe someone else has had that problem.

shawn_hot · 03-22-2008, 10:10 PM

just curious but do u really ahve to take the bumper off just to install the CAI?? that seems like to much.

iamjust2fast · 03-25-2008, 12:20 AM

yup u really have to take the.bumber off. It easy to take off anyway

thats all that was in my filter when I changed it

pk+civicsi · 04-22-2008, 03:12 PM

I installed my injen CAI yesterday and it took about 2hrs or so, I didnt have to cut the plastic either and I have the coupe si. Doesnt even look like there will be any rubbing at all. Oh and its so much easier to work with the intake when installing you take out the stand that holds the battery

***xrs54*** · 04-22-2008, 03:40 PM

^ good idea, thanks for the tip

pk+civicsi · 04-22-2008, 06:47 PM

hey i dont know if anyone else will be doing this but I figured snce the engine emits alot of heat and that is transferred to the intake that I would heat wrap my intake so that it doesnt heat up and cause the air inside to be warm. I have some of the wrap still from my DCRH so I might do that today

***mad monkey*** · 04-23-2008, 09:16 PM

It's been done. I don't know how much wrap DC sports gave you but you must have gotten a crapload to have enough left over wrap to cover enough of the intake to actually make it efficient.

tek9j · 04-24-2008, 02:37 AM

I think you forgot the part where you had to disconnect the negative battery pole. Also, I installed an AEM CAI and now my check engine light is coming on. I unplugged the battery, check the sensor plug, pushed the wires in, plugged the sensor plug back in till I heard the snap, plugged the battery back in, let it idle and the light stayed off until I got to work then I came back on when I went on my lunch break. The install is exactly how you have it here with hoses, placement and everything. Any ideas what could be causing the check engine light to come on?

***mad monkey*** · 04-24-2008, 05:41 AM

Did you know if it's the updated version or not? The original version, which you may have if you bought it used or from a performance store that isn't consistent with selling import parts, was notorious for throwing CEL's. If anything, just go to autozone and ask them to check your code for you. They'll do it for free.
