Injen CAI
Over a month ago I had a CAI installed at the dealer. I wanted to have it done at the dealer, rather than doing it myself, but I was wrong. The first 2 weeks were normal, but after I started to hear noises from driver's front side. These noises appeared only when I turned on or off the engine. These noises pissed me off badly and I finally found that. They come from the pipe (intake), which touches the edge of the metal (round hole) near the by-pass valve. There is a scratchon the other side of the pipe, I can't see it, but I can feel it is about 1/16 of an inch deep. How thick is the wall of the pipe? Maybe there is a hole in the pipe, already? I have an appoitment next week at the dealer. Should I fix it myself or wait untill the next week and let them see it? What You guys think? Are they going to change the pipe? Any advice would be appriciated.

What noises are you talking about? You should hear the same noises when turning your car on or off as before, except they are much louder now due to the lack of resonators and the more breathable filter.
Please provide more details.

You are absolutly right axleback. Thanks for the info on how to fix it (already did). But on the other side of the pipe there is a deep scratch and I have to tell the dealer about it. I paid $80 for the labor and they did awful job. I think they should exchange it for the new one.
