Intake Problem....What's causing this

I installed my intake the other day and now my car idles funny until it is warmed up. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Hmm.. Everything is hooked up right? Did you disconnect your battery and then install and reconnect? Everything tight.. if so... then It might just be normal.

This is normal, I swapped for CAI at 400 miles so I didn't have time to take note to what it was like stock, I traded in my tC and switched it back to stock the idle when it was cold was much smoother with the stock airbox.

If you have the secret weapon intake, you need a thicker rubber o-ring around your MAF. You can buy a set of misc. sizes for cheap at your local auto store.
