I am interested in purchasing a CAI I currently have the $50 DIY SRI and really want to go with something a little more professional. Any recommendations for what to buy, or if you have one you are willing to part with let me know. I have a orange 2009 sport AT

 

I had an Injen. It kept throwing a light and was a p.i.t.a. to install because of the need to remove the bumper. However, it looked really nice and had the perfect ammount of snarl to it. I gave up trying to solve the CEL and returned it. Pretty much if you have an AT you are either going to have to run a SRI or an Injen. The Takeda and such do not work w/ an AT.

 

don't waste your money

 

Odd, I have the Injen, and never had a CEL. Put over 20,000 miles on it now too.

The hardest part about removing the bumper cover is the damn pop clips. Once you figure it out, it pretty simple tho. I can have my bumper cover off in less than 5 minutes.

IMO Injen is a solid company. I have used their intakes on all of my previous cars, and never had a problem.

 

Injen was helpful in trying to fix the problem w/ the CEL but they ultimately decided the pipe diameter might be too large. After 1-2 weeks of trial and error they offered to send a new pipe. I just didn't want to keep running lean while waiting and go through the install again.

 

I was actually looking at a jdm password any idea if it would work

 

The Password intake may require a battery relocation. Last I knew it did at least, let me double check on that.

Edit - Confirmed, it does require a smaller battery.

 

I am guessing it will can I see come pics of it. Also can anyone verify it will work on a 2009 sport AT

 

I will PM you with the link to some pictures, etc.

 

I appreciate the link but I want to see pics of the actual application because the vendor site really doesn't help

 

ok so since one option fell through it looks like i will have to go with injen unless anyone can help me out with another option.

 

The Takeda is a nice product for the price...threw it on in the dark with cell phone light and after I had ingested a generous amount of Pabst (Pens game that night haha) in about 20 minutes I think. No CEL ever and comes with cool extras.

 

Takeda doesn't work w/ an AT

 

yeah deffinately need one for A/T

 

Ah, sorry guys...guess I missed that

 

I've heard of someone adapting it to an A/T, but idk. He said he had to remove the cover under the engine to put on the filter and everything works fine. I wouldn't do it myself.

 

Waste of money
