New Dinan CAI installed
Got the Dinan Cold Air Intake installed on Thursday... Definitely worth the wait! There is a noticable increase in available torque all throughout the RPM band - but particularly around 3500-4500. Feels just like a 4.8 now
 Oh, and the engine REALLY growls now... I went to the dealer for my 15,000 mile service yesterday, and when it was done and I started her up out front, people from inside the showroom walked out to come check her out.

Great news mine should be in soon too. Im glad you like it i feel much better know about bying it. by the way when do you hear the most difference in sound. Like what rpm. Also how much did they charge you to install it and how much time did they take.

By the way, the sound is noticable at all RPMs. I don't hear a loud suck sound like you can with some intake kits, but that's probably because it's so well enclosed and buffered from the engine (to keep the air cooler, of course). It looks like a great design. I'll post some pics...

What did they do with the small tube that was attached to the air-box?
It usually does take the DME a few miles to adapt to the incresed airflow, so for anyone who's going to get one, don't floor it for about 100 miles.

i was always told that for the ECU to properly adapt you have to push it hard so the motor is under full load and the ECU can properly adapt. If you go real easy it will just take longer to adapt. also there is no ill affect onb the engine if you just floor the thing as soon as you get it installed.

Running lean has "no ill affect????"
It's your engine. It's true that if you run your car hard, the DME will adapt to it and you may get more power out of it, but it would be wise to let it adapt to the increased airflow first. What's the risk of taking it easy for a few days? What's the risk of running lean??? You can decide for yourself. You probable won't have any problems, but why risk it.
