Cold Air Intake
Don't mean to open up yet another thread on Cold Air Intakes but I had a quick question and am looking for a quick response. I can get a pretty good deal with the sales going on for the Airaid Cold Air Intake system. I have an Auto 2.4 powertrain. My question is are their any reliability issues that I need to be aware of? I live in Florida and it tends to get quite toasty some days especially during my commute. Does anyone know about any temperature control issues with this system? More specifically has anyone who living in a hot/humid climate such as Florida installed the Airaid and had any sort of issues? Thanks In Advance!

Not sure if you decided on this yet but I'm running the Airaid dry setup on mine. I live in Georgia where it's pretty warm and humid in the summers...had it on for over a year with no issues. Don't expect any gains from it...I bought mine mainly for looks and sound rather than performance.

How dramatic is the sound difference from stock? Did you disconnect the battery during your install?

I would disconnect the battery and while you're at it, give the throttlebody a spritz of TB cleaner and the MAF sensor a shot of MAF cleaner, while you're in there .
I did this today installing a K&N FIPK kit , I'll wait till tomorrow's run to Hamilton to check for sounds and check the MPG over a month or so.
