    I would return it.

    If you get a SRI and you have problems from just a stupid bolt on like that, there's no point in spending more time on it.

    Return it and go back to stock or spend your money on something else.

    Trust me on this one..

    If you're having MAF sensor problems, you probably will the whole time, it won't matter at first but then you might be running too lean or too rich and itll screw stuff up

    you shouldnt repair the problem yourself.. just return it... if its defect by the maufacturer in no way should u spend more time and money to repair the problem.. just go with another intake that doesnt have problems..

    Go with RRM
    better on the budget than the CAI
    no problems,
    only knock is the lack of bling factor, but w/e

    damn right you can get a return, they messed up, just call them or send them an email and say you have the ses problem with the intake, and TELL them you want a refund

    well as yall know i HAD the fujita sri, i ordered the injen cai and put it on today. all i gota say is AWSOME. it was well worth the money, beautiful, easy to put on. 1-5 4.5 so its almost perfect. F sri gets a 2.5 very easy to put on, good low end but top end not that great and hot air is bad.
    Injen ish low end but 2-5.5 rpm is NICE! (and smooooth acceleration)

    hope this helps the ones that r shopin for an intake

    This helps out the people with a 5 spd, not so much the ones with a CVT.
    But I like how you put the 2-5.5 RPM range thing.
    I'm seriously considering picking this up, but I have a CVT and I don't want to lose more low-end power.
    And the Fujita did LAG in the high RPMs.
