Most likely rear 02 because of HFC. It can be turned off via ECU.

UR intake has a larger diameter pipe causing the CEL, think there was a post on here a long time ago about it from TTP engineering.

but anyway, Intakes CAN be mediocre or almost useless, especially on the Ralliart. Properly scaling/calibrating the MAF is something A LOT of tuners can't do or don't do properly. I experienced it first hand when switching tuners. The very process of calibrating the MAF took longer than anything else, and it was a HUGE PITA - but it definitely made a difference.

Being more specific to the OP, I think that UR intake is crap. I think it's impossible that you can make an intake worth buying without using up the space taken by the battery. even there you run into heat-soak issues, let alone placing it behind a massive battery, in the back of the engine bay

disclaimer: this is all my opinion from experience trying different intakes and tunes on my RA. I'm no expert

Usually it takes a couple days (depending on how much driving you do) before the fuel trims sway enough to trigger a CEL.

So much speculation and miss information going on...

Please pull the codes and post them rather they just Ohh No's I have a check engine light and no idea what the codes are.......

The UR RA intake uses the SAME diameter maf tube as stock..... Like Bryan said it is probably the rear 02 cell.... no reason to speculate when you can pull the codes and know for sure.

OP-
Yes pull ur code. Most likely guesses are:
1) Holy cr@p why are the exhaust gases so rich/lean/cold/hot?
2)Holy cr@p the fuel trims are as calculated from the last couple hundred miles suggests a dangerously rich/lean condition?

Its definitely going to be air flow related, just depends on before (intake) or after (exhaust)...

Could someone clarify:

Does the dash say "Service Engine Soon" or "Check Engine" with a engine symbol?
