Purchased this intake in December and installed early January 2023..

Incredible throttle response, love the sound, but my F22 does not seem to like it.

Odd acceleration on cold starts, weird jolts in the 1700 rpm range and this morning it threw a CEL. (will see what the code is this evening)

It's like the engine doesn't know how to handle all the extra air and especially colder temperature air.

I'm at a loss on this one..

One month is a long time for the CEL to pop up randomly.

Are you sure the intake causes the issue?

Fairly common issue with the Dinan intake and seeing that this intake is very similar in design, I'm not surprised you're having this issue. My guess is the high flow filter teamed with cold, oxygen dense air isn't playing nice with the MAF. You could disconnect the MAF and see how it runs.

I reinstalled the stock intake last night and will run the car like this moving forward.

I knew it was a crap shoot installing a higher flow Intake so it is what it is..

I love the design of the Injen.. It's incredibly well made but my car just never settled into it.

It seems some of these cars don't care and others throw a temper tantrum!

The stock airbox is a restriction - you can do something like the CTS - which has a unique MAF housing to not cause any issues. Or, you can do the MPPK (M2) airbox with a drop in filter.

I have both, and while the CTS is slightly "better" the M2 airbox is very good, and absolutely better than stock.

To get the best performance, pair it with an inlet.

Thanks for the info.. I'm going to try and sell the Injen and will look into the M2 airbox.

Exact model CTS are you referring to? I see in another post that you ranked the intakes least to best from experience..

I'm on a stock air intake with an AFE filter

Thanks Mike..

I emailed Injen to see if a return can be facilitated.

Once I hear back from them I will decide on how to move forward.

I must be the ONLY Dinan Intake user here that has not experienced any issues and love the set-up. Being: Dinan Intake, FTP v2 inlet, Wagner DP, VRSF 5" IC & BM3 S1

I know, I know --- everyone keeps posting how Dinan is awful, MST over FTP, Wagner is overpriced and MHD is cheaper & that VRSF 5" IC just is not doing its job ----- hell - I have even replaced all my adaptive struts with the same OEM parts ----

Admittedly, you do have some of the worst products, but MHD is good and the VRSF 5" is fine, but if works for you....

I've had the Dinan intake for 3+ years and have never had an issue like this at all.

I would go for the CTS intake. I have had zero problems with installation or cells. I had an AEM intake similar to this and it threw a cell every damn time because of the maf sensor placement. CTS got it right.

An inlet upgrade with this helps a lot and to get some cool air in there get the AFE scoop.
