[2013_Estoril_335i]

I bought an injen intake a couple days ago. Since then, my car has been showing a CEL and has died in the road multiple times saying "drivetrain malfunction". I just ran it through with an OBDII scanner. The code is attached. Does anybody else have any experience? I am very disappointed in the quality of this product. Next thing is to put the stock intake on and make sure its the intakes fault and not the sensor.

Sorry to hear that. I was going to go injen but went with Dinan cf cai.

I have been using my injen intake for over a year with no issues, I would re-check all connections especially the MAF sensor make sure it's all hooked up and tight and nothing broke during install. You shouldn't be getting any lights with that intake

make sure you reconnect the vacuum hose as well

sounds like something isn't connected right. recheck all connections. make sure to plug in vacuum hose.

any issue with dinan so far?

[fatalkarma]

No issues and I got it around May this year. Seems to be working fine, and it's obviously covered under the BMW warranty.
I am however, getting a, literally what sounds like a little bird chirping. I googled it and could be one of the belts, not sure. Taking it in tomorrow to dealer. It only happens when I'm in sport+ mode, also have Dinan stage 2. Let you know what I find.

My mechanical mods are:
Dinan Stage 2
Dinan CF CAI
Remus Sport Catback

Is this noise only happening when you let off the gas or switching gears?

how do you like the remus? im installing mine next week, but i have a catless dp so im not sure how itll sound

That code is common with intakes on n55. As I said in your other thread if you have JB4 unplug the MAF sensor and allow the JB4 to control not MAF.

So i can literally just run it without the maf sensor? Does it still throw the code? Any long term effects? Thanks.

[2013_Estoril_335i]

Theoretically, wouldnt the jb4 obdii override the maf sensor regardless of whether or not the maf sensor is connected? Maybe somebody can chime in

You can clear all codes with the JB4, but I wouldn't...it seems like you are ignoring a relevant issue. I have had the Injen Intake installed on my 435 for over a year, and I never once had an issue. I would go through the entire install again and see if you can find an error.

Could there be an issue other than with the maf sensor that would cause the maf sensor code to throw?

Are you sure you did not damage the mass air flow sensor in the process of your install?

It is a possibility. I didnt realize the piece was so sensitive. I am going to put the factory intake back on. If the code still shows, i will have to get a new one i guess

I love the Remus. It's very civil until you punch it, then it's very noticeable.

If you're going catless, it'll sound amazing.

It's only when giving it throttle, I think.... It is definitely not on idle. The last one mile stretch of road to my house (straight and very quiet/smooth road), I'm always in 3rd gear so no gear switching, but don't recall if I let off the gas, I'll check on the way home again tonight, but literally, it sounds like a bird chirping.

Good call. Chirping is coming from intake. Every time I throttle it at around 2k rpm in comfort mode it chirps. Much appreciated and dealer will know what to look at.
