Problem with the SP1963 Injen CAI for the 08 SE-R

[roguestatus]

I have the CVT 08 Se-R for college campus driving, and I recently bought the Injen CAI, part number SP1963 (SP1968 is the Spec V). I brought it to a shop to be installed because I was scared to do it myself, and I'm happy I did.

They spent 3 hours trying to install it, and came to the conclusion that one of the rubber pieces or w/e it's made of was too short on both ends by about an inch (the 90 degree L bend piece) We called up Injen and they said they'd never even fit the part in the car, just assumed it would fit like the Spec intake would.

So after some customization, we made a new piece and it fits/works fine.

But just a heads up to anyone driving the CVT B16 - watch out for this piece if you go with Injen! Maybe it was just a wrong piece in the wrong box, but still, caused me quite the hastle.

Good lookin out, I've got this intake on my Spec V and had no problems doing a self installation, everything fit just fine at it was about 5k miles ago. Thanks again for the heads up to everyone.

Hope you contacted the vendor as well and gave them the heads up.
