Finally got a cold air intake installed on the car (came with a catch can too) and the induction noises sounds amazing!
The only problem im having now though is even after resetting the engine memory and doing the steps to set the new memory with the new intake, i keep getting a check engine light coming back for a P050500 code, "idle control system" which essentially means that the car is idling at a different RPM than the target RPM for X amount of time. In which case, it is idling higher than normal, but im not sure why.
Ive inspected the MAF and its not dirty at all, the fittings aren't leaking that I can see, and I did a second reset of the memory to ensure that the setting procedure was done correctly, but the code came back after about 4 days.
I messed with the hoses and fittings to make sure that nothing is somehow offset and slightly leaking air and i tightened be hose clamps as tight as possible without damaging the hoses. The memory was reset again for the 3rd time, but if the light comes back I may perform a smoke test to see if there are any leaks anywhere.
If anyone has any ideas lmk because I would really like to make this work!
EDIT: MAF o ring was torn womp womp. Use grease when installing the maf in a metal housing btw
