Injen's Intake Pic...
Everyone here would be interested in a group buy. Let us let gamedog check with injen to see if this would be something they might entertain before we fill up this thread with post about wanting in on a group buy.
See what you can do gamedog.

Could someone speak to this:
When I changed out the parking lights I noticed that a lot of components make up the stock intake system (stock airbox, cradle and plastic hoses that kinda dove down into the front bumper etc.) Just how much of that will get removed on an install such as this?
Also the rectanglular shaped sensor that slides into the top of the hose inbetween the airbox and the throttle body. I am sure that piece is retained on a CAI system such as this (its hard to tell in the picture).
Forgive my lack of knowledge as it has been 8 years since I last installed a CAI system in a car. Thanks guys!

Depends on the set up but most of that will come out or at least it did on my last G. I believe I even saw that there may be a substitute radiator overflow because the OEM one has to be removed.
And on the same note as the above post, will the engine run more lean/rich now and possibly go through cat's quicker? I had that happen on a car I did this on before, I'd rather not have to deal with any adverse effects of installing the CAI.

That's another reason why they are taking a while on this... They are shooting to keep the air/fuel ratio as close to stock as possible to prevent any long term damage... With every dyno pull, they gauge this and make the necessary changes needed...
