before i purchase an intake kit, i am curious if the install causes any dash lights, SES lights, etc. I have not inspected the engine bay too closely so I cannot recall if there is any harness that hooks to the existing intake such as MAF or anything like that.

When installing an intake does it cause any such issues with error codes?

Just be careful with the MAF sensor when you remove it from the OEM tubing to the new intake tubing. Shouldn't cause any problems!

What did you end up buying?

So simple even Joe can do it... ;)

You shouldn't have to worry about any problems. Just be careful with the MAF

I gave you the best prices you will find on the net for (3) different intake systems. So the next step is you making a decision on which route you want to go. Short ram or Long tubes?

I like the long tube intake best. i didnt complain about your price and I am certain that they are great prices. I just need to be in a position to spend that.

I'm very happy with R2C on my 2009! They also make a kit for the earlier gen G's

Only minor changes in the install on a G35 with a VQHR (dual intakes) vs. the G37.
