I've had my Fujita CAI for about 10k miles now with the CEL on. I got tired of seeing the CEL so I finally put my stock air box back on. The car seems much smoother now but less responsive and no more growl when I get on the gas. The intake seemed like it affected the transmission or something. It would hold the gears for much longer and it had a hard time finding the right gears. Like I feel the car should shift to a higher gear but there's this lag and sometimes it would shift gears then drop back down a second or 2 then shift back up. I thought this was normal since I have an A/T but is it really normal? Or is it because of the CEL? I'm interested in the new Takeda SRI but don't want my car acting up again like the Fujita made it do. Anyone have some insight on this?
