new air induction question??
I plan on installing my new air induction on my 01 tonight. Its the kind with 2 filters on a Y type piece. I have been told that I may have to reprogram the computer for it to run properly due to the increased air flow.
Is this True??? and how do I do it??

Unless you also install headers and a new catback system you won't have to get a tune. I have the same CAI and installed it with no problem, and no need for a tune. I've been using it for nearly 3 years.

I replaced mine with the Blackwing years ago and never reprogrammed. Car runs great, a HUGE improvement in throttle response over stock. I remember reading that the car is smart enough to adjust to this mod.
install and enjoy.

No need to get a tune. After install, just drive the car around for a while and the car's computer will adjust itself to any increased airflow.
