A cold air intake doesnot damage the engine but may lead to certain problems that will hinder performance. Newer cars are able to inhibit/fix themselves to a point to prevent serious damage from occuring (knock sensors, egr, etc.)Primarily a CAI will lean out the air fuel ratio especially at full throttle from a dead stop/drag race. When the demand for the higher airflow is needed at 4500rpms the ratio will return to normal 12:1-14:1. That is why you need the tuner to add more fuel throughout the power curve (midrange) to bring the air/fuel ratio down from 18:1 to a performance orientated (12:1-14:1) ratio throughout the entire band.
However, there are other factors to be taken into. As some consider a 12:1 ratio to be rich. But it depends on the dyno numbers as engines vary from each other.

Just call Brenspeed and ask them. They'd know for certain, and you'd have an answer in 5 minutes. My guess is that it'll be just fine.

I also have the BBK intake and have run it on the stock tune without any problems. I couldn't notice any gain in power without the tune, but it didn't throw any codes and ran as smooth as stock.

i installed my BBK 'CAI' along with my LMs without a tune and ran my car as a daily driver for 3 or so weeks also without a problem before getting a tune for it. i never worried about my car going into safe mode or thowin a code. just me though.

Well it is on and the check engine light is on..... How do I reset this? I have it tuned with the SCT tuner.
