    Has anyone used a Injen intake on the 2.5? I have a p-flo intake but thinking about getting a cold air intake.

    I haven't used one personally, but a friend did on his car and got a CEL without a MAF insert

    Yea I decided to keep it. Just wish they used the type of filter that you could just rinse with water. Does anyone know the size of the filter? I wen to autozone and got one but it was to small and the rubber part that slips in is to short.

    Its not 3". I ordered one online and it did not fit. I went to the parts store and they had a universal one that had inserts for you to adjust the size but the rubber part that slips on was to short.

    Moot point since you decided against buying one, but I bought and installed one and it has been trouble free for me. It's a one piece intake, so no need for MAF insert because it has a small tube re directing air around the MAF element. No CEL for me (2007).

    Anyhow, good luck finding a new filter, my 2.5 sounded more aggressive when I had a short ram oddly

    I know you decided against getting the injen intake just wanted to say i love mine and have had 0 problems with it since i got it, even made my car sounds a little more aggressive.

    Also if i'm not mistaken the p-flo uses a 4" cone. If you decide to get a new intake however abd racing makes an intake that can be changed from a short ram to a cold air if thats something that might interest you.

    The maf is a little over 3" OD. When you buy the filter, you need to find one that is 3" ID.

    I ended up just getting a recharge kit and cleaned the filter. I might get another filter when I moved down to CA. just so I can swap it out.
