FAQs

Will an Injen intake require a tune on my Honda or Acura?

On most naturally aspirated applications, an Injen intake can be run without a full retune. Modern Honda ECUs handle minor air charge changes through closed-loop corrections. On turbocharged applications, a tune is more important, especially if you are combining the intake with other modifications. If you are unsure whether your specific setup needs a tune after an intake swap, it is a good question to ask your tuner or contact us for guidance.

What is the difference between Injen’s short ram and cold air intakes?

A short ram intake is more compact, easier to install, and draws air from the engine bay, making it less sensitive to water ingestion. A cold air intake typically routes the filter lower and further from the engine, bringing in denser, cooler air that can support slightly better performance. For daily-driven cars in areas with wet roads or frequent rain, a short ram or dry weather cold air with a heat shield is often the more practical option.
