Well I got a CAI put on yesterday and my exhaust got a lot quieter and my car just feels funny, like it's not as fast as it used to be. I have headers too and before my CAI was put on, I could hear them suck air LOUD, but now I don't hear them at all and I can barely even hear the CAI sucking air. Earlier today I was driving and the CEL starting flashing and my car started like driving funny, like it wouldn't accelerate, I can't really explain it, but now it seems fine. Any ideas??
 
Double check to make sure something is not loose or maybe somehting is unplugged . Also , you can go to Advanced Auto and they can pull the code and you can look it up o nthe internet .
 
Check those couplings. I think easiest thing that would throw a CEL would be the MAS. Make sure all the wires are connected to the harness and that it is connected to the MAS.
 
Well, my exhaust is still quiet and I can't really hear the CAI, but the CEL went off. It'll probably come back on tomrrow, the car runs fine, but the CEL comes on and off.
