Who here has an Injen CAI? How do you like it? What have you noticed performance wise? Any different sound from engine? Sorry for the questions but I just ordered on my mine and wanted to get some of your opinions. Thanks....

The Injen CAI comes with all the hardware you need. There are two little 90 degree metal brackets. One is for remounting the coolant resivoir. The other is for relocating some piece of business up near the throttle body.
Hearing the throttle swish and snort as you drive is maybe the best part. It sounds pretty mean.

Thanks guys for the info-I just installed the upper strut bar last night and have the air intake off waiting for the CAI. Right now I can't drive, lost my license for 30 days, but get it back on the 22nd of october. I can't wait to get the car out!!!

Does the kit come with a new bracket for the coolant reseviour? Or do you reuse the current one?

CAI
Got the Ijen intake on this past weekend an what a difference. Better throttle response, especially after clearing the K.A.M. The sound is so soooooothing to my ears I almost want to cry. My g/f hates it though, sys it's to loud. I told her she full of **** and that the MS exhaust is what's making the noise. For some reason she just thinks it's louder, I just tell her "NO", and that it's all in her head. Really it is a whole lot louder, especially at WOT. I do have one question though, Should I run it in the winter? I have heard some people says the engine just takes longer to get to normal operating temp, is that it or is there more I should know. I am taking off the MS muffler and reinstalling the OEM just because of the salt they use on our roads here in Michigan. If someone can let me know on the CAI, I would really appreciate it. BTW, sorry for rambling so much....[IMG]C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Pictures\Picture%20062.jpg[/IMG]
