you might wanna check to see if any oil from the airfilter got onto the MAF sensor it might have triggerred the DTC

lol people on here act like if your intake sucks a drop of water its gonna explode. The first 20 times it happens your car will stall and that's about it. To hydrolock you have to suck enough water to fill the cylinder to the point the piston can't complete its stroke due to water being incompressible. Basically you have to submerge most of the filter before you're bending rods. Splashing a few drops or even a moderate amount of water isn't going to do anything but spit some steam out your exhaust pipe and most likely stall you out.

As for CELs, no they aren't common. If you don't put it together right, guaranteed CEL. If you put it together right, guaranteed no CEL.

Never had a CEL on my CAI.

The TRD/AEM intake is made with an anti-hydrolock bypass coupler just in case you were to encounter too-deep water.

Oiled filters seem to be losing-out to dry-element filters, since the MAF is vulnerable to the oil when its over-applied. There are many great dry elements on the market these days that will not throw a CEL.

I personally took it off because rainy season here is very wet and where I do most of my commuting have water acumalation problems. I worked at a machine shop while in college and saw to many broken honda blocks and of course the bent guilty rod from hydrolock. I just figuered I play it safe and drive with no worries.

I have had the ebay 1st gen AEM knockoff; Bomz cold air, the simota cold air, and now the AFE.

They have been great, never had one CEL

Why so many intakes? I bought the AEM and haven't looked back. Unless one can give me proven HP gains my AEM is here to stay.

Grimlock and I just installed ours tonight. His went first and took longer since we had to figure some stuff out that didn't seem right. Fitments and such. Everything worked out in the end though. Mine went pretty smoothly after figuring everything out with his first. Sounds great! Mine's definitely noticeably slightly peppier. Very happy I got this! And no CEL yet with the 25 minute drive home of both city and highway.

Picture of the intake installed.

And still no CEL!

PS: Thanks to Grimlock for all the help!

Nick, thanks for your help as well.

I only got to drive mine to and from work today, but there isn't any issues so far. Definitely hear it when you get up in the RPM's!

nick.dollimount · 06-03-2010, 09:25 PM

Yeah definitely! Also this morning, I had to pull out of Subway's lot quickly to get into traffic and you really hear it when you step on the gas from a stop :D
