i doubt it, either could cause failsafe if the install wasnt done correctly or the rear O2s are turned off, but i think brent would have done that and i am pretty sure the tune is correct for the CAI

But without the codes there are a ton things that cause the fail safe mode.....next time it does it pull the code immediately
