So I installed the intake and it died as I started up at first... I thought hey no worries?

I drove around for 20min and get a check engine light.. I'm like great but I realized I forgot to put the breather tube on. I removed the negative terminal to clear the codes...started the car up again but dies out first time...start it up again, it is fine. Am I missing something? I saw something about changing the MAF sensor around to direct airflow but no idea what that even means!

U don't need to change the maf sensor, get the code and see what's wrong.

Don't u have to give some throttle for the first start up after changing the intake? I thought I remember having to put my foot down on the gas cause the car hesitated to start (like dying), and it was idling very low for a while until the ECU relearns. This was on my old 2011 Camry though. Same thing after cleaning the throttle body. Maybe ur throttle body is dirty?

I actually gave it gas second time around and started up as it should... maybe it was the first time around...

I installed my HPS intake in December last year and didn't notice my car shutting off. I installed it, test drove it around the block with no issues other than noticing better throttle response. From then on, nothing out of the ordinary has occurred.

Very strange, I was gonna ask if you maybe didn't reconnect the MAF all the way. Does it only give increase throttle response? If I have a Apexi Accel already would it really not make a difference? I've heard it really doesn't change the sound of it or anything.

I do feel better response... since connecting the breather hose and disconnecting battery... haven't got the check engine light but at start up, feels like its dying out then its fine 2-3 seconds later

Since I don't have the Apexi controller, my guess would be that the HPS intake will add to the throttle response/sensitivity on top what the controller is doing since they are two separate mechanisms (electrical vs. mechanical).

I noticed a change in throttle response when I installed the HPS intake. No issues with starting after the install. Since going to the Invidia catback exhaust I feel an even stronger throttle response. I've had traction control kick in many times since installing both.

Do u guys have a link for this intake? Where can I get one?

The OP got his intake from.

Currently out of stock at HPS for the black one.

Restocking the black one in March, I can however get you a polished one!

Just PM'd you for a polished HPS intake.

How much is the polished one shipped? I wish this intake had a sound increase. I know some other ones too but they lack the sound generator pipe which would probably make it quieter overall.

I think this one uses the stock sound generator, unlike the K&N one which deletes everything and makes it worthless.
