So I redid my CAI, put a brand new filter, new piping, and ran it into the fender....where ALL the other kits go, except mine is homemade. Now when I romp on it, I bounce off my rev limiter and my tranny wont shift till I let off and stomp it again. When im in park I can run it up to 45k rmp and itll sputter and miss. It made the supercharger alot louder and I can keep it engafed now when I rev it up, as before when I revved it to "show off", you could only hear it for a second. WTF guys? The only thing that changed is I went from a 4" pipe and giant cone to a 3 1/2" pipe and smaller cone and put it in the fender.

Any SES codes pop up... Could be an issue with the MAF sensor being dirty or maybe a trans problem.

Why buy something sensible with a RWD setup when you can build something really stupid, like this

something isnt right, i think it might just be a coincidence. because all of my other cars(3800s) have had intakes and never had that problem. i will check around with some other buddys and wee if we can get things worked out for you

well whatever it was, it seems to have cleared itself up....whatev

what kind of pipe did you use? the reason i ask is because back in the day i used some shit pipe from autozone going from the thottle body to the MAF and it i kind of had similar problems (not the tranny) but it turned out that a piece of shit from inside the pipe broke/came off and got stuck and my throttle body. but i also got codes up the ass on my DIC as well. when i figured it out it was a big !?omg wtf im why did i buy the cheap shit!? type of deal.

-but another thing i wanted to add was it might be more efficient to not run the CAI into your fender. because the more bends and turns the pipe/tube makes the more your getting away from being an actual CAI as well. i dont know how the climate is by you but if its not extremely hot, you mine as well just run a big K&N cone off a short (4") pipe off your MAF. it will deff. be alot louder than your fender. and you will slightly increase performance as well.

actually I just took the 4" pipe and giant cone off to put it in the fender. Im using a straight 3 1/2" pvc. The only bends I have is a 45 degree out of the fender and about a 15 degree at the tb. It actually has given me a noticable improvement in performance...idk how...and the s/c is alot louder. I live in Texas and today it was in the 80s, so climate is an issue. Im in the process of fabbing a scoupe to come out the bottom of the fender, by the air splitter, so itll have tons of fresh air coming in.
