mtrappo - "i installed an SRT intake that comes w/ an ECU. To my knowledge you need to upgrade or at least reprogram your ECU when you have an intake for it to work properly. I heard w/ out an ECU upgrade the check engine light will come on."
my intake shud be coming in this week...what will i need to do to install and what additional parts do ineed for it to run without any headaches? thanx

first, unplug your battery (at the top where the cables come in, not sure if + or - though). wait 30 mins (at least 20 though). install the intake, plug cable back in. the DRIVE IT HARD. not sure how long though. you should be good.
