yeah, disconnect the battery for like 15-20 mins to let the ECU recalibrate after like 100 miles.
Good purchase!

I don't know about breaking it in, but from the minute I got it back from the dealer, it sounded like I was ready for the Winston Cup.
There were a couple of guys hanging around; they wanted to:
1. Know if they could buy my "old" wheels
2. If I could rev the sh*t out of the engine for them.
The service manager was egging them on...
It should be realy loud, or maybe another MIRC actuator bites the dust... (j/k)

yeah disconnect that sucker for maybe an hour. that's what Xephyr says at least.
The CAI will be loud at high RPMs, you can especially tell at about 3k RPMS thats when you can start telling the difference. Round 4800 RPMS its all over!! -_=-_-VROOM!!!

Otherwise... get your ears checked... your deaf

There is a acutator behind the engine... stand on the driver side of the car with the hood open... have someone rev the car to over 3800 RPM...
If you dont see a switch flip... and hear a click.. its not working.

StonedCL,
You should definately hear a major diffrence above 4k RPM. As most owners will agree a "Dr. Jeckyl -vs- Mr. Hyde" difference! Make sure everything is tight & your IMRC is working. If you still don't hear it I agree with Soopa and recommend a good ear doctor or box of Q-Tips
joking ... call me if you need some help ..,
Chris
