Has anyone seen their range shoot up after installing a new intake on their TLX Type S?

So, I recently ordered an HPS Intake for my '23 TLX Type S. First off, getting that stock box out is the biggest pain. All the videos and posts I could find say nothing about the absolute nightmare it was to take it out. Luckily after wiggling it around for what seemed like 30 minutes, it finally came out. Acura really doesn't want you to take that thing out.

After the install, I did see a bunch of error codes, but after sitting idle for a few minutes, then driving for a couple minutes, the codes went away. I drove down the road to get gas, and after starting the car up, still no codes. SO, things look okay so far. I did get the prompt that the infotainment required a code, but it also said I could hold down the power button to bypass, which I did.

Here comes the weird thing. After filling the tank and resetting the trip, my range now shows 420+ miles. I'm guessing the car needs to relearn the tank capacity and range, so i'll let the tank go down near empty, but has anyone else noticed this? This is my first mod on my car and I have just under 8300 miles on it.



Now comes the finale. The install looks great!

Here's a clip of the intake:

Never mind, it was because I disconnected the battery, duh…
