Alright, i been wanting to get injen CAI for awhile now, and my dad has been skeptical because of the warranty issue

I explain everything about the Magnuson-Moss act, and whatever, and he gets the whole sha-bang.

Anywho, he thinks that the CAI can cause problems for a ton of things under the hood and that when those things break its the CAI's fault

So my question is, how many problems can CAI cause, and how many things is it related to that it can void the warranty on those parts.

only if you drive in 2 feet of water with an unprotected cone filter for quite a while

Alright just to be 100% safe, wheres the best place i can purchase a BPV for the injen intake and would the hydroshield help also?

I appreciate this guys.

not too sure about the bpv but is the hydroshield the bag that goes aorund the filter? i think the bpv is good by itself

benmlb12935

yeah the hydroshield looks like a bag around the filter.

But the bpv would pretty much do it for me i would think.

tell him better gas mileage

benmlb12935

Yeah I told him that, but then he talked to the dealer and the dealer said that it gets less mpg becuase it increases the HP.

Can u explain how it has better gas mileage?

Thanks

I have a Fugita and I don't really get better gas mileage because I love the low rumble of the CIA. Always hard on the gas. Here recently I've been shifting around 2700 RPM to attempt to save more gas. Also there isn't a significant change in HP at the wheels. If anything it is not a large gain by any means and should give you around the same gas mileage if not just alittle better. if you want a larger gain, there are some new spark plugs that increase gas mileage, more hp and more torque. they are on www.pulstarplug.com. the only set back is that they a 25 bucks a pop

The same way it increases power. Denser (i.e. more air) air entering. Better air-fuel mixture there for more efficient burn.

Whos paying for the larger majority of the car? I try to respect whoevers paying my way, so this question should determine the outcome of your dispute.

i noticed that i could get an average 25 - 30 more miles out of a tank of gas with my cai. Obviously depends on how and where you drive, but it did help.

www.trdsparks.com sells the injen with the bpv. You will need to cut the intake on both pipes to make it 100% functional and there is nothing to worry when you have a bpv except if you are using a K&N filter the oil will eventually get onto the MAF sensor causing problems but if you switch to the AEM Dryflow no problems. I had an injen on my car and around 18,000 my car started missing like I had bad fuel or plugs. I checked the plugs and everything else, but I could not figure out what it was. I bought some MAF cleaner by dumb luck cleaned it and no more issues. I had never cleaned the filter yet because it wasn't dirty yet.

Would the hydroshield from innjen do a good enough job from preventing water to being sucked into the engine?

If not, does any one know where i can get the bypass valve for the injen seperatley?

Thanks
