Hi i have jsut installed the Injen CAI today and i felt alot of difference.
I wanted to know if this is normal with the CAI.

When i FLOOR it at around RPM 5500~6000 the sound is VICIOUS... Very loud and mean, Is that normal ?

It sounds like a REAL loud growl.....

So far enjoying it..


Thanks. Will try to get Dynoed and will get ppics tommorow.

Im curious if the sounds are different with each intake. I got the Stillen because it is easy to clean the filter and I could pick it up immediately.

How many times have you cleaned the filter?

DeusExMaxima

iTrader: (1)

i clean it about every other oil change, 6-8,000 miles. So at 26,000, I have cleaned it 3-4 times.

This might be a stupid question, but is there a special way of cleaning the stillen CAI filter???? I have a stillen as well, and its time to get it cleaned. Need to know how to go about it.

05MAXIJJ

Does the Injen need filter cleaning also???How do you clean them?

If you have had K&N in the past it is just like them, use the cleaning solvent first and then lightly oil the filter unless you have one of the new dry filters that do not require oiling. The K&N cleaning/oiling kits are universal and you can get them at any auto parts store.

So the injen needs to be cleaned also rite?

Do i need to remove the wheel and fender everyime to clean it and get to the filter?

It sounds loud from the inside, but when I had the car on the dyno, it was not that loud outside. Sounded just right.

From the Injen site.
All Injen Air Filters can be cleaned using cotton gauze air filter cleaners and oil that can be purchased from most major auto part stores.
We suggest cleaning the filter every 30,000 miles or when it becomes visibly black in color. We recommend examining the filter every 9,000 miles.

I will be cleaning mine this weekend. Just take it apart from the top and pull it up.

any fix yet for the bracket problem?

with the RedlineMax kit, you guys could direct a lot of air from the opening beside the foglight.

ramberg

Chernmax has a fix. I can't find the thread on it. PM him for details. He fixed mine and I have had no problem since.

if injen hasn't come out with a fix yet, thats cause they make the intake with a stronger braket now, you guys have to look at the new ones that are out to see.

it looks real strong compair to what was there before.. i know cause I've seen it, ask joesredmax..

OK, here it is again, after 14 months, still rock solid...

INJEN CAI Mounting Bracket Problems:

OK, the Injen CAI mounting SUCKS, driving vibration first took out the rubber boot mounting screw, I re-inforced the mounting and the freaken weld broke... DAMM... So some of you might have this (see pic below)



My Fix, about $20 clams:
Parts Used:
1- ROL Exhaust heavy duty tail pipe hanger.
2- 2 RE Works High Grade Aluminum Quick Release Racing Clamps

The task: Using a vice, I bent the Exhaust bracket in a 90 degree angle and attached it to the lower engine mounting bolt just below the Injen, using 1 clamp, I added a new forward midbody support clamp by hooking it around the Exhaust Hanging bracket U-hook, (The Rubber vibration spacer allowed it to twist nicely into place and is 50 times stronger than the stock shock mount).

Another benefit; the bracket is now mounted under the CAI and eliminated all stress on the mounting hardware. I also replaced the rear bracket (not required, however stronger), tightened down all. Job time, 17 minutes...

First Test Fit:

[QUOTE=ramberg]I was just asking for other's sake. thanks guys.

I thought chris did it. Good to hear it's holding up. could you do that from the start to prevent it from braking?

chernmax

iTrader: (15)

Absolutely, with the Injen mount, it's not a matter of if, but when. Even if Injen strengthens the bracket, it's the shock mounting bolt that is flawed and Injen is more than happy to keep charging you $10 bucks plus shipping for a new one...

This happened to me in my 01 TL with the AEM intake.

The reason was that the intake were suppose to be fastened NOT SO TIGHT...

The intakes need to moeve around a little bit.. When i tightened the bracket real hard and driving fast made the bracket brake apart.

chernmax

iTrader: (15)

If that's the case, maybe the CAI makers should specify some torque spec’s vice leaving us all holding our D!CKS...

is this broken braket only a problem for the 6th gens? im about to get a used one for 5th gen nad kinda second guessing it now.

I like my Fujita, very very loud on the outside & inside as well. When you are ripping it down a street everyone looks at you. Almost everyday when im in back of a car and they hear the Fujita, they almost always pull over and let me pass because they are afraid. No lie either.

I bet the Injen is great. I wonder what one sounds better, Injen or Fujita?
