Pulled the air hose from my V6 and there nis no trap. I had talked this am with the service manager. The conclusion was ( until I want to spend $$ for the Steeda) to drill a couple more holes in the airbox to feed more air to the K&N. I added four holes. At this point I have not driven it but blipping the throttle to 4G did not trigger any lights.

I pulled the vapor trap out of my GT and installed the MMR CAI. All I can say is....time to find a tune!
Made the engine louder, pretty sure the car is slower, and after about 5 miles the check engine light came on. Not that I didn't expect those things to happen because I did until I get it tuned. Just reporting the initial results.

ouch.. you didnt get the SCT with it?

Not yet. Actually there are a couple of shops locally and I am going to talk with them. I am having a hard time paying $375+ for something that I will most likely only use once ( maybe twice ) when there are shops out there that already have the equipment and the software. If I can pay them considerably less to do the tune, why pay for the equipment that I am just going to leave in a box on a shelf somewhere? Then again, if they want some stupid *** price to do the tune, I will go ahead and buy the SCT. I can get it locally from the same places that I am checking with on doing a tune.

As stated earlier, I pretty much got the results I expected without a tune. Just wanted to post the results since quite a few people were asking.

why do you have to run premium fuel? i mean to gain some extra horses you might want to but you don't have to program your car to use the higher grade stuff. if you are going to do any high proformance mods in the future it is a good investment not a waste of money. and i think with a CIA and a tuner you see a pretty good HP gain IMO it was well worth the money. with a tuner YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID [&o]

My X-box came with the CAI and 93 octane custom tunes and I figured 4 or 5 extra bucks a tank to run with the premium fuel...yeah my cars worth it....i still haven't taken out my HC trap yet
