I would assume yes but will these work on the 18's as well? I can't see there being a change

Need a decent grip but it will come out. As you can see in the pictures it did not alter the shape of the clap and you really cant tell it was screwed with. Everything else about the kit is AWESOME and will thought out. I must say it was the best packed shipping box ever.

Great input! This is what forums are all about! Thanks also for your thoughts on the intake design and packaging.

I will ask around for confirmed fitment, but I would imagine the system fits an 18.

I put my CAI on a couple weeks back and since I got two check engine lights. Both were for an issue with the emissions system. Any one else?

Put mine on today and so far so good.
Also have a ported throttle body and no CEL yet.

I have not heard of any CELs caused by our CAI. Did you unhook the battery before install? Also did you leave the MAF connection plugged in and remove the MAF sensor by unscrewing the 2 MAF screws only?

Hope to get to the bottom of this.

Just the intake? Any exhaust work?

I did not unplug the battery. I only unscrewed it.

I'll try the unplug first. Maybe tomorrow. I'll let you know.

We unplugged the MAF. Upon start up it went into limp mode. This was caused by us unplugging it. Cleared the code and all has been fine. Know better next time

Glad things are straightened out!

We have received a few questions about the process of switching back to the stock intake after installing the Roto-fab CAI. To reinstall the OEM system, we recommend using the small hose clamp supplied in your CAI hardware kit in place of the OEM clamp that was removed during CAI installation.

The swap can be done in about 30 minutes, and will require most of the tools noted in CAI installation instructions.

If anyone has further questions, we would be glad to help! You can also refer to our CAI installation guide below for a detailed explanation of the Roto-fab install process, as well as a few benefits the system has to offer!

WOW!!

Was hoping for a 50 cent tube instead.
Now I have to buy a stock OEM intake tube if I want to use a Roto Fab, I'm betting that will be real pricey.

Putting on a hose clamp on the stock OEM system is NOT what some dealers want to see.

I not trying to be a dick but you guys can't do better than that?
Some of us have really strict dealers, some of us have cool dealers.

If your dealer is that strict, you should probably just stay stock if you can't find another dealer.

Again, removing the tube without destroying the clamp is possible if you take your time.

I'm impatient and even kept it intact, so I'm sure you could too with a little patience and following the procedure another person posted above.

someone posted how to remove the stock clamp pretty easy with just a flat head. He said it was reusable for if had to go back to stock
