- Comparing the Cold Air Intake Options for a 2012 Toyota Tundra
- The main advantage that the open box systems, # AFE51-11172 and # AFE54-11172, have over the enclosed box system, # AFE54-81172 and # AFE51-81172, for your 2012 Toyota Tundra is that open systems offer the maximum amount of airflow. The enclosed box systems will still have plenty of air flow, just not as much as an open box system.
Another main difference between the open and enclosed systems is the noise level. The open system will provide a deep sound, kind of like a growl, that will be sl

- Pre-Filter Recommendation for an AFE Pro Dry S Air Filter
- We do carry pre-filters for the most of the Pro Dry S filters. If you have the Pro Dry S filter, # AFE21-90020, for the Cold Air Intake, # AFE54-10502, then you will want the pre-filter, # AFE28-10043. I confirmed that this pre-filter will work with the Pro Dry S filter # AFE21-90020 with my contact at AFE.
If you have a different air filter, then just let me know the part number of your oil filter or of the cold air intake system that you have and I can recommend the correct pre-filter for

- Will aFe Cold Air Intake System, Part # AFE51-11302, Pass California DMV Inspection
- California is the one state in the nation in which this product will not satisfy emission control standards (CARB).
If you still have the OEM air cleaner, your best bet is to remove the aFe Intake System, re-install the OEM air cleaning system and have your required DMV visual inspection performed. I wish I could recommend you then simply re-install the cold air intake after the visual inspection, but since that would be illegal I can not safely recommend you do that.

- Cold Air Kit Recommendations for a 2008 GMC Sierra with a 6.0 L and Mechanical Fan
- The best option I can give you for a cold-air intake design on your 2008 GMC Sierra would be an AFE Cold Air Intake # AFE54-11071. The Bully Dog option that you referenced is only designed to work on vehicles with electric fans. The problem is that the aftermarket intake tube does not clear the fan shroud assembly.
The # AFE54-11071 utilizes the factory intake tube so it will not interfere with the manual fan assembly.

- Engine Showing Error Code After Installing Cold Air Intake
- According to my research, the most common cause of having that code would be a dirty or improperly installed MAF sensor. Make sure the MAF sensor is fully inserted into the intake tube. Since your system uses an oil-based filter, there might have been too much oil on the filter, which in turn contaminated the sensor. You can pull the sensor from the intake tube, and use an aerosol based electrical contact cleaner on the sensor.
A vacuum leak can cause the error code, as well. Make sure that

- Will a Cold Air Intake System and an Exhaust System Improve Fuel Economy on a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4.7L
- A cold air intake like the aFe Direct Fit Cold Air Intake System, # AFE54-10372, is a benefit to the engine because cold air is more dense and therefore is more readily combustible. It will also optimize airflow allowing the engine to breathe easier.
A performance exhaust like the MagnaFlow Exhaust System, # MF15611, for club cab models with 63 inch bed or # MF15739 for quad cab models with a 63 inch bed, will also optimize airflow by reducing the back pressure.

- Troubleshooting a Service Engine Soon Code after Installing AFE Cold Air Intake on a 2004 Ford F150
- Most likely, the code has something to do with your mass air flow sensor. You should check that it is plugged in completely first and then check to see if the sensor itself is dirty. Sometimes with oil based filters oil can get drawn through the filter and get on the mass airflow sensor and cause a SES code to appear.
The other issue could be the IAC, you might check to see that it is sealed and has not come unplugged. There is also the possibility you may have a vacuum leak which could cause

- I did some research and everything I found says that the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS models are powered by a GEMA based 4B11 that is a 2.0 liter DOHC engine producing around 150 hp.
If you have the stock engine in your vehicle then this Takeda Retain Direct-Fit Short-Ram Cold Air Intake System # AFETR-4201P should work very well for you.
If you have an engine in your vehicle that is not the original I would not be able to recommend an intake for you since there would be too many variables.

- The aFe Pro Dry S Direct Fit Cold Air Intake System, # AFE51-10292, will not require special engine tuning if you are installing it on a factory stock 2007 Ford Mustang.

This spacer is about 1 inch thick. If you used another brand of throttle body spacer that is over 1 inch thick that could cause a fit issue.

- Installation of the AFE Stage 2 Pro SI Cold Air Intake System on a 2007 Ford F-150
- I spoke with my contact at AFE to inquire about the modification you have made by installing a piece of the old air intake to direct air directly into the air box.
He said that normally the trim seal is used to eliminate most of the gap but that the alteration you have made will most likely provide a small amount of extra airflow. The only thing to be aware of is that the extra air flow may cause the mass air flow sensor to set off a fault code. If this is the case the extension you have adde
