i'd say go with a new one if you have the cash for it.

 

Yeah, get a new one, you run the risk of improper sealing it and debris could get through

 

Same thing happened to mines.. Seems like the glue doesn't hold up too well, go on summitracing.com and order a K&N from them, just measure the innerdiameter of the current filter you have. It cost me about 25$ to replace mines.

 

well i have this epoxy, but it takes like 12 hrs to set.

and it snapped back on... and i need to drive today.
i havent had a problem yet.
worst case, tomorrow i go to get a replacement from car quest.

 

YES I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. The metal cap or the "bell" i call it fell off. When u drive fast it sucks in and blocks the smooth shifting. I got wat glue i forgot.. but pretty strong one and sealed it with some pressure on it for a few hrs. Then i installed it again.. it never fell off. Jus dont over glue it so much then ull get glue in the filter ( i have a little ). Then it'll never come off and then u can hear swoooosh when drivin at mivec

 

two things
one,
your avatar makes me laugh every time i see it.
two
i didnt even have to glue it, but i think i will tomorrow when i change over the tranny oil.
seriously guys,
this is the best forum ever,
i <3 you guys.
ps im straight.

 

Okay just to be sure. If I disconnect my battery for 5 minutes after installing the SRI, I wont get a check engine light? (or it will go away after its used to the airflow?)

 

Had the same problem with my RRM CAI. The powder coating for the MAS was too thick so it created an uneven fitment. Couldn't solve the problem myself, so I just bought a new RAI from AEM. Not a single problem yet and incredible performance boost!

 

lol haha thx man. Ralliart power .

On a side note, no u dont have to disconnect the battery when installing the SRI. The ECU will automatically adjust to it in a matter of time. Also when done installin it, jus cruise nicely around for 15 min under mivec. Then beat the **** out of it, u should be able to hear a swooshin sound when it spools . Jus be sure to check it a few of the days after if the bell falls off.

Ull kno when that "bell" falls of when ur at a light, ur idle will not be consistent... the needle will be moving.
