How do you know the engine light is being triggered by the intake and not something else? There are many things that will cause an engine light to come on.

Go get your car scanned. I doubt the intake caused the SES light.

Just fine. Still sounds great, filter is still really clean. Checked the boot out a couple weeks ago and it's still attached the same as day one.

This is definitely worth consideration due to the fact that I'm thinking about going back into a closed box air intake. The simota just sounds so good tho
At that price range tho the alternatives (although limited) may deserve a look as well |

Just installed my AFE today. I must say I am quite surprised at how loud it is - in a good way. I get this stupid drin each time the RPMs go past 3k. The only thing I don't like is when I step on the throttle, bring it up to 4500-5000 or so, let off the throttle a bit, and as it settles down into 3000-3500 it seems to "drone" pretty loud until it drops below 3000. 3k is were it really starts to sound good, then it settles down a bit around 4-5k, then it gets loud again above 5k.
It definitely makes the car sound so much better. |

Anways, here's a clip I made of my install from about 2 months ago. Love this intake, still haven't seen any increase of fuel economy since I don't use it as a DD since my family is out of the country right now, gotta use the Shitlander as a DD beater!

I think you summed it up perfectly on your post above.

Looks a really sweet intake, but very pricey. I'm still happy with my cheapo DIY solution - http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=836702

Can anyone post a pic of the intake tube attached to the throttle body....I am have difficulty getting the tube seated properly around the adapter. The bottom end has a nice tight fit, but the top side doesn't. Help!!

Where you able to modify the boot to fit in your car? I'm having the same issue.
