What is MR Technology?

This is Injens patent pending Mega Ram Technology. It begins with T6, 6061 Aerospace Aluminum piping that is custom designed for each application. An innovative step down process strategically regulates air flow around a billet style mass air flow adapter that delivers smooth and consistent air flow to your engine. Basically, it stops any turbulant air from hitting your throttle plate.  The smoother the flow of air, the more air you can deliver into your engine.  This is trully one of a kind technology.

What is the difference between Injens Cold Air Intake and the Short Ram Series?

Basically they are both high performance intake systems. The difference has to do with where the air is picked up and the type of results you’re aiming for. A cold air system is predominantly designed for race applications. The RD Series grabs cold, dense air from behind the front bumper with gives you mid-high range performance. The Short Ram installs in the factory location, making it less likely to pick up water and provides a little less power through all operation conditions. As a rule of thum, be carefull with a cold air intake system on your daily driver.  As an alternative go with the Short Ram series and ditch your factory system.

Will the Intake’s system oil screw up my Mass Air-Flow sensor?

We contacted Injen to double-check this one because having you replace any sensor is the last thing we want.   They assured us that the oil is harmless and they haven’t had any problems to date.  Not surprising, after all this is Injen… the creator of the world’s first tuned air intake system. 

What if my engine gets too much air?

That would be impossible…. An automotive engine draws in a fixed amount of air on the intake stroke.  The concern is not enough air, you can’t get too much.  The colder the air, the denser it is. This helps the engine compress it better.  Bottom line; more air is good, more cold air is better.

Will this intake void my warranty?

This is one of those question you probably don’t really wanna know the answer to.  If your manufacturer spells out that all aftermarket parts will void the warranty then yes.  However, many of our customers have removed their intake prior to service or reasoned with the service department.  After all you’re adding these high performance parts to get the most out of YOUR car.  A good technician will be able to quickly deduce that aftermarket parts are not the root of all evil, only cheaply made ones.  If you’re overly worried about warranty concerns maybe you should look into some decals.  Hey they make the car look nice.

What type of maintenance am I looking at with this filter?

This depends on your environment. As a rule of thumb clean your short ram systems filter every 30,000 to 40,000 miles. We recommend that your check your filter at least once a year, twice if you’re in a dirty environment. Rotating your filter in between intervals helps bring clean spots into the air stream.  Remember you can’t go wrong with a pre-filter.  When in doubt just clean it… you spent the money and the time installing it so keep it clean or you will decrease your performance.  Always use the Injen recommended cleaner, it is formulated with the filter materials in mind.  Air dries on a sunny day; never use compressed air (this can blow holes right through your filter).  Remember patience is important, just let it air dry… no banging on the ground or brushing is required.
