No idea... I had the code pulled a long time ago and forget the actual number, but it was something with one of the O2 sensors (lean, rich, can't remember.) I should go pull it again while it's lit, probably could get some advice off of here.

How long does it usually stay on?

That's about as predictable as telling when it will come on. Sometimes just a day, other times for a month+. I've learned to love the little bugger.

I have a Stillen exhaust due on the 27th and wouldn't mind going with the same company for both mods. Now I don't mean to slam on the volant, or any other CAI, but for me it's between the stillen and the AEM set up.

I would hold up on buying the stillen if I were you, and cancel the exhaust order also unless you want a really quiet system.

I have a crush bend Magnaflow exhaust with Fram Boost (AEM) CAI and dynoed 10 HP more than a guy with Stillen CAI and exhaust.

Listen to me now and thank me later.

That makes me happy to hear since my buddy tried his hardest to talk me into Stillen. I was like "no, man....my boys at TT say AEM so......

I am thinking the exhaust had more to do with the HP advantage you had over the "Stillen" set up. I knew going in that the single exit magnaflow had better gains but I really like the look of dual rear exit. I was looking for something as quiet as stock for idle, but more aggressive at WOT. I really considered the muffler swap, since mine is an 07, just to save some cash. In the end though, I decided to get what I really wanted and do it just once. From reports that I have read, if you want a dual rear, the Stillen is the way to go. As for CAI's I know the AEM is outstanding, but there are several good CAI's on the market right now with similar power gains and price. I don't think there is necessarily a right and wrong when considering the good units, it's just what works best for the person. I have the Stillen CAI on my short list because of dyno tests reported on another site. It did VERY well. But like I said, even though this isn't a big purchase, I plan to do some more looking and try to get it right the first time. That may mean the AEM set up, because it sure looks and performs well.

Just installed my AEM Brute Force today...LOVE IT! It was easy too. Took me half an hour with no help.
