they are correct. Their is not a CAI for the 2005 base model 1.8L 1zz-fe. I had to purchase a 2002 to 2004 and just buy an extra hose. easy stuff and works great. definitely felt a difference in the higher rpm range, even though it only redliines at 6500. lolvibedrive wrote:K&N tech people are telling me that there is no CAI for the 2005 1.8 Base model. Is the Short Ram Intake worth the trouble to install? HP improvements?
there was a garage thread where someone made their own CAI with some nice parts. umm... can't remember who it was though.natevaz22 wrote:I can not find CAI or SRI for the 2010 vibe gt only older models like 06
That's because it is only listed for the 2008+ Scion xB and 2009+ Matrix, no mention of 2009-2010 Vibes. The K&N CAI (it's a CAI according to K&N, but the filter stays in the engine compartment like an SRI) you want is #69-8613TS.

So i can buy one for a 2008 and up xB? and for a matrix?J_TO_ENVY wrote:That's because it is only listed for the 2008+ Scion xB and 2009+ Matrix, no mention of 2009-2010 Vibes.

I have had the K&N Typhoon CAI (#69-8613TS) on my 2009 Vibe GT for a little over 3 years and on my mom's 2009 Vibe GT for about 2 years with no issues whatsoever. There are actually quite a few of us 2009-2010 2.4L owners here who have this intake and I haven't heard a single negative thing about it from anyone.

Your two posts contradict each other. Many issues of filter oil causing problems have been reported.J_TO_ENVY wrote:On my way home from work today the Check Engine, Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control lights all came on again. Until today, I hadn't had any issues like this since last fall. I installed a brand new AEM Brute Force Dryflow air filter earlier this year and even put an AEM Dryflow air filter wrap over it to help keep it cleaner. This evening I took the Vibe over to Auto Zone to get the codes read. The 2 codes that came up were P0170 - Fuel Trim Malfunction (Bank 1) and P0172 - System Too Rich (Bank 1). This is really starting to frustrate me. I have checked all the connections on the K&N CAI and they're all fine. I have cleaned the MAF sensor a couple times. I really hate to ditch the K&N CAI in favor of the stock setup, but if it keeps me from having to deal with this issue every few months, so be it.
FWIW... the Vibe is now out of warranty and currently has 31,562 miles.
Any ideas on what to check?

Not exactly... I know what was causing the problem and it has since been taken care of. It was not the intake, it was my not tightening down the MAF enough.vit wrote:J_TO_ENVY wrote: I have had the K&N Typhoon CAI (#69-8613TS) on my 2009 Vibe GT for a little over 3 years and on my mom's 2009 Vibe GT for about 2 years with no issues whatsoever.

that doesn't mean you can't mod something for your car.natevaz22 wrote:K&N Told me none of their products for my 2010 Vibe GT 2.4L
That's because they have not test fitted one of their #69-8613TS intakes on a 2009-2010 2.4L Vibe, so they will not acknowledge that is does indeed fit without issue. I emailed them a while back and told them this intake would also fit 2009-2010 2.4L Vibes. I got some bs answer back about how they haven't test fitted one so they won't advertise it for 2009-2010 2.4L Vibes blah blah blah. As I said before, there are many owners here who have this intake installed on their 2009-2010 2.4L Vibes, including myself.

With the K&N #69-8613TS intake, there is no need for any sort of modification on a 2009-2010 2.4L Vibe. It is a direct bolt on intake setup.Mariachi wrote:that doesn't mean you can't mod something for your car.
Yup, I believe it was advertised under the Matrix? Same engine, same fit.

You're supposed t wash the filter, let it dry fully, re-oil then let that set...I'm not sure how a shop could get that all done uneven a day....sounds sketchyponta2147 wrote:Yup, I believe it was advertised under the Matrix?

I had to get my oil changed at one of the big oil change chains when I was on vacation, and they offered a K&N-specific filter cleaning and re-oiling service for me! So I haven't had to clean my own yet.
This is exactly why 1.) I have an AEM air filter (no need to worry about re-oiling) and 2.) I am the only one who changes the oil on our Vibes.thebarber wrote:You're supposed t wash the filter, let it dry fully, re-oil then let that set...I'm not sure how a shop could get that all done uneven a day....sounds sketchyWingnut wrote:Something very similar happened to me one day with my truck. I needed an oil change and went to a Walmart and the guy (while I was in side looking around) took my air filter out and washed it, then I guess just re-oiled it and threw it back in. He also didn't plug the sensor back in. I figured out something was wrong when I got out into a traffic filled parking lot and all my instruments started coming on and the truck quit. Come to find out, my air filter was still dripping wet They ended up refunding all my money and towing it to the dealer and having the engine checked for any damage.
