CAI filter placement

I dont think they suck there is just a better product out now. Bottom line is you have a different product thats all, doesnt mean its worse or better its just different so leave it be and use what you bought man.

Maybe when you reoil the filter you can put a rag inside the cone and air compress the outside to catch any extra oil or something. They have been around for years so dont worry about it.

On your warranty they will void it if the CEL has anything to do with the air intake. This BS about some law is just BS the dealer can in some situations prove the CAI was a result to failures. If your engine went to s*** and they said it was dirty inside due to poor filtration then what are you going to say that there is this magical law that protects you? When I called 2 dealers they both said if it came in for something like a MAF CEL I would have to pay for labor and parts related to that service.

Seems like some found cool dealers that wont do that so that would be the thing to do if you choose to buy an intake other then the MS CAI. That wasnt worth it to me for the small amount of savings but good luck on figuring out which configuration will be best for you on your Injen.

That's why you get yourself a good obdII scanner and get the cel before going for service.
Controlo, you are thinking to much into it. The filter is just that, a filter. Yeah there may be a 3-4 hp difference but you are not gona feel it.

well its not just the horsepower i'm concerned about. i would have no problem using the dryflow if it will still run a safe a/f and feel good. its the same demensions, so i would think it would be fine. i'm sure i'll lose a couple horsepower but i don't really care. so with a dryflow i'll only gain 24whp, haha.
