I'm looking for some information that I was unable to find from searching. I'm trying to do some research on the HKS RS intake and if there are any problems. I've read numerous reviews about this intake and just about everyone gave it a good review. I've also been reading about just about every intake (especially the K&N) throwing CEL's. I've tried to find out if anyone has had a problem with the HKS throwing them. I'm also trying to find out if they are being thrown with the stock ECU or a modified ECU (where reflashed or standalone or piggyback, etc). I know a modified ECU should take care of the problem if there is one. If so, which is best? Dynoflash? I'm open to any suggestions on that one. Turnaround time for the mailing and cost/benefit would be my biggest concerns. Any of info is helpful. Thanx.

 

Had a CEL with stock ecu (random misfire), solved with custom tuned Works P2.

 

I have the stock ECU with the RS intake and haven't had a single problem with it. I've had it on for about 6000 miles now.

 

I'm still looking for more feedback. Thanx.

 

the RS intake was one of my first mod on my car, its been 3k or more miles and never have any problems with it

 

Well to give you more feedback. Al at DynoFlash told me the RS intake is the best on the market and obviously doesn't have any issues with his flashes and intake combo because he told me I made the best choice.

 

I have had the rs intake for what, 12k miles now I think. NEVER had a cel because of it, ever. Stock ecu.

I agree it may be the best intake on the market... and not bad now that it's going for < $300 shipped.

 

I've had the RS intake on my car for ~1500 miles now. It is currently the only mod. No issues whatsoever, great intake.

at first i got a MAF error, when i first put it on, but i cleared the code, and nothing since

 

I wonder if the issues with the ECU are related to people damaging the maf sensor or karmen-vortex screen.

 

damn are you guys serious? ever since i put in my rs kit my car has been throwin up the CEL all the time. it's mostly on and off. after my P2 i thought everything was gravy. but it still comes up from time to time, but no longer than a couple of days. i never got it checked because when id come around to it the light would be off already.

 

sup guys i've had the rs kit on for about 18k miles and no problems. i love the kit, you can tell a bit of a difference on top end , well on my car anyway.

 

1500 miles so far, stock ecu. Not a single problem. I love that intake. I had a 300 code thrown earlier (random misfire) but that was before the intake.

 

Here is some more feedback for you. I've had the intake on since January and still no problems. I'm sending my ECU out for the Dynoflash in two to three weeks so it should be a different beast.

 

Had a K&N filter No cel.. Got the HKS RS now no cel.
