I just installed my injen cai 2 days ago and i love the sound. and i read that u need to reset the car's computer so itll get used to more air coming into the engine... do i need to do that or will the computer just get used to it. and i love the noise of my car but after 6k rpm my car makes a sharp metallic noise and i dont know where its coming from. any suggestions? thanks alot guys

go ahead and reset the computer. just unhook the battery

*disconnect negative terminal on battery for about a minute

*reconnect and start the car, DO NOT rev, let the car sit at idle for about 5 minutes

*turn car off, wait a couple of minutes

*start car and let it sit at idle again for about 5 minutes

*turn car off, wait a couple of minutes

*start car and drive

what if i already started to drive around? can i still disconnect the battery? haha im just scared cause my friend put in aem sri in his car and his car is having problems with idling *idles hella low around 100-200 range when warmed up*and the honda dealer said it was b/c of the after market parts...

make sure u have your radio password with you...cause disconnect battery will make u loose every memory in your radio

another solution i've read, was instead of undoing hte battery, just remove the fuse for the FI ECU from the main fuse box under the hood, and follow that time bit, 5-10 mins running, no gas, etc.. should work fine and you won't have to reset anything else

does anyone know where the noise is coming from it comes in at 6200. sounds like metal

Possibly your valves.. I haven't heard the Injen intake yet.. could be somthing'stouching the pipe and vibrating.. could be alot of things.

But yeah you MUST reset your ECU or your engine might be running a big lean on fuel.. which is not a good thing.

Don't worry about the ECU, it'll take care of itself. The newer ones are a bit smarter than previous gens.
