So no leaks around the MAF gasket or the other tubing connections?
It's not really a cold air intake if there isn't atleast a heat shiled installed with it. You are actually getting hot air now that you are mixing it with the hot engine compartment.
If all else fails, put back the stock intake and see if the problem goes away.
If it goes away, then I might suspect that there is something wrong with the design of this intake.
Try all the above and let us know what you find out.

1. Could be the MAF needs time to adjust
2. The air filter was more restrictive
3. The hot air meaning the oxygen content was less than before for the CFM (Cubic Feet per minute) for example
4. The intake is longer than OEM (I have had that issue when I modify intakes)
5. The intake is narrower than OEM
