BTW - it looks like you could use a little engine bay detailing.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yep...1st gen...same one Mark (Mfletch) sold not too long ago.....although his kept throwing CEL's so he went to the new gen and no more problems.
Hey everyone,
I want to start doing a little DIY on my car and thought changing the air filter would be an easy start.
I have had the car about 2 months now and it came with a few mods including this CAI.
I have researched every web site that I could find to match the CAI on my car without luck.
Any guesses?

Again, welcome!
Thanks for the "ID", I'll contact them to get my new air filter. (I haven't had any error codes but I do feel that low end torque is compromised by this and the headers etc...It pulls strong from 4000 rpm and up but so so under 3000rpm)
Tim! what a nice job on engine bay! ...OK....this weekend's project!
You are correct, and the main culprit would be the headers. Generally speaking, 'breathing' mods, if they do anything at all, tend to give you more at the top at the price of low rpm performance.
Bruce: When you say the torque is compromised by the CAI and the headers....what headers are you and pszilka referring to....the stock or aftermarket? I must have missed something.
Aftermarket. My comment was relative. If you see headers that promise more horsepower than stock, you can be sure that it will come at the expense of low end grunt. No free lunch there. It's just physics.
CAI is a bit more complicated, because the stock unit wasn't designed only to achieve a certain set of performance characteristics. It was also designed to meet noise control requirements. By the same token, gains of any kind are questionable for CAIs on any car that was halfway well engineered in the first place. You'll rarely find a manufacturer who will give you a HP number for their CAI alone... very often, the numbers are for CAI plus chip and/or exhaust.
For the record, I have the EVO CAI and EVO exhaust. Love them both, but I know what I got for my money.
