CPE first gen CAI fit a gen 2 ?

[DaveIrwin24]

Hey just did a quick search on this didn't find too much, thought it would be quicker to post and ask on her. Someone in my area has this intake posted on kijiji for a good price just wondering if it would work?

[McGuyver_3]

according to their website part numbers are the same except
gen 1- MMS3XCI
gen 2- MMS3XCI2

I have called them before for compatibility on other products and they told me the part numbers simply differ to keep track of gen 1 and gen 2 orders. According to what I see and what i know I would assume yes. However I would simply call them and ask

[DaveIrwin24]

Great ill contact them this week, just randomly seen it on kijiji.. Still leaning towards an Sri though

[CelestSpeed3]

I would say do it. Worst case is you will need to do a Maf Cal which you should be doing anyway.

[DaveIrwin24]

think i might go ahead , a little reluctant.. the guy wants $180 for the intake and it's 2 years old. Is that a good deal? On cpe site its listed $369.

did you call cp-e? if it fits just do it.
369+30-50$ shipping +50-100$ import

total 449-519
possibly conversion works out against your favor

for 180 just pull the trigger

[CelestSpeed3]

Just make sure you clean the air filter before you install the intake.

[DaveIrwin24]

In between this intake, or spending $100 more and getting the corksport SRI/TIP off their site

[Bosshammy]

if it will work , id goo for it for 180.

[DaveIrwin24]

Went ahead and bought the intake for $150, it's In good shape and saved a cpl hundred from buying new. Gonna install it this week

[McGuyver_3]

Awesome let us know how it goes

[DaveIrwin24]

Installed the cai intake last night, had a little issue with firmest because the shifter linkage was hitting the pipe when I tried to put it in first . Rearranged it and it fits good now. Finally got an email from cp-e today saying the first gen and second gen cai is exactly the same

a lighter/smaller shifter weight would help. Either through JBR or MSpeed, we can set you up with a smaller weight for better fitment and crisper shifts.

Well worth it. Had one installed from MSpeed & I love it. Makes a big difference, my shifts are smooth & effortless. I say do it.

started my car a cpl times today cold... first 5-10 seconds i heard an unusual sound. Sounded like a loud blowing sound. Is that from the cai? and is it normal?

[rzapata]

You should post it up. But did it sound like, "woosshh?"

[DaveIrwin24]

Just started it but didn't hear it. It was a whooshing sound yea,

[rzapata]

Then that's normal. :) Give it more throttle to hear it more then start shifting at 4000. You'll love it.

[DaveIrwin24]

Lol opps I mean it makes the whooshing sound when I start the engine and the car is in idle.. After a few seconds it goes away and the intake sounds normal when I'm accelerating

[rzapata]

Maybe that's just how the CAI is? How loud is it? Well, the engine revs at 2000 when started so I guess more air goes in, which means CAI works more. Plus it's close to the wheel well so I guess you'd hear it louder.

It shouldn't be a problem unless your car is stuttering and stuff.. :)

Yeah I'm such a noob, totally makes sense lol. Thanks for the response!
