Installed my Injen SRI Yesterday!

Veloster0517 · Apr 27, 2013

So UPS dropped off my SRI yesterday afternoon and I got to work right away. One thing I did not like about UPS is the man just tossed the box like it was a newspaper. I was really angry LOL.

So from the moment I opened the box to the moment I closed my hood, it took me approximately 30 mins to install this SRI. Right after, I took her for a test drive and wow! she purrs like a kitten! you can definitely feel the increase in power and I notice a change in the fuel economy also. One thing that really got me; the sound! Oh man! it was absolutely amazing. you could hear the turbo and especially when driving sport mode, the sound is beautiful. once 2000RPM is reached, it sounds like a 757 reving its engines on take off and that initially air being sucked in at such a high speed.

If there is anyone who needs assistance in installing a CAI or SRI within the Barrie and Vaughan, Ontario area, please let me know. I really enjoyed installing my SRI and hope to do more.

Is the fuel economy change significantly?

Veloster0517 · Apr 27, 2013

It's not significant, but I know that when I reconnected my negative and started the car, my km to empty went up and i notice im getting an instant of 5-6L/100km as opposed to before when it was at 7-9L/100km

where did you order from and how much?

I don't know why but my Injen CAI tube touches the side of the positive battery terminal casing. I know this is a SRI, but my CAI could easily be transformed into a SRI. I've been checking other people's installs and noticed that only my install has the tubing touch the positive side casing. I wonder why..

Based on what Injen says,the top tube for the SRI or CAI install is the same piece and installs the same way. Sounds like it is not installed straight.

Yea, I'm going to readjust the tubing to make them fit better. Other than that my car runs great and I haven't had any problems with leaking.

about $180 shipped from autoanything.com if you use the 15% coupon on the page

stealthscythe · Apr 30, 2013

I think I used FORYOU15, if you google "autoanything coupon code" you get all kind of them and you can try until one works

Hyperion · Apr 30, 2013

If I were you I'd cough up a few extra dollars and get the CAI. You can inter-change between the SRI and the CAI which I find to be convenient. I think I paid just shy of $230 for the CAI on AutoAnything.

velociraptor · May 1, 2013

I just ordered the black Injen CAI this morning from autoanything.com for $220 and change. The code is for first time buyers, welcome15.

I plan to install it in SRI form first to see is how I like it then I will change it to CAI and see if I can tell a difference.

Its actually not a prefilter. Its called a Hydro shield. Its the equivalent to a shower cap women use. Allows air to freely pass through it while keeping most water out. It wont stop water being sucked into the intake but if you pour water on it, it just runs off. Thats its intended purpose so I suppose in a sense its a prefiler but not for particulate matter but for water.

GLOW · May 1, 2013

Crap i pulled the trigger on ebay for a black CAI $230 shipped. Didn't notice you guys response. Guess not too bad off from price. Unfortunately not getting the hydro shield :disappointed: I'm planning to install as CAI not SRI as I see it has the option for that. Once I start might as well go all out. Hope it gets here by sat in time for the meet.

Try the SRI first and then switch to CAI cuz that would require bumper removal
