Question....... If I just put the AirAid Jr. Tube only in it would it set a SES/CEL light?

I put mine in a couple of days ago, no problems,no codes, so far so good.

^x2. Just installed my Airaid also and no issues either.

Just posted Vids in my Airaid Jr. thread in the PERFORMANCE section for those that are interested.

Hey guys I was considering the gm intake as well as the air raid tube.. Do you guys notice any kind of drone from them? I had a true flow tube only and it made a drone at certain rpm's...

No drone from my Airaid jr. at all. I've had other intakes on my vehicles and this is pretty quiet in comparison. Prob bc it uses the stock air box.

My airaid jr has a little drone but it isn't bad.

When do you notice it?

Actually all the noise coming from CAI's stem from the intake tube itself. The factory one from GM has a "silencer" built into the stock intake tube for this reason. The AIRAID one i had didn't drone at all. It actually sounded pretty badass.

Gotcha.. Thx

Yeah maybe not a "drone" but it does make noise! It sounds mean but nothing too loud.

Yeah the plastic on the stock intake tube is ridic! Felix, IMO the short ram intakes I've heard, sound much louder, such as the K&N's on trucks and even ones i used to put on my 4-bangers back in the day. I feel like the sound is louder bc the filter is exposed at the end of the intake tube or bc the air box is more open, maybe? Have you noticed this??

My Airaid seems VERY quiet IMO. That also may be bc my Corsa drowns out the "intake" sound which IMO I only hear under WOT or under load.
