Default Short ram/cai and engine light

Is anyone having issues with the check engine light, or throwing codes after installing a cai or short ram intake. If so which brands are causing the issues.

I have had my do-it-yourself Spectre short ram intake for quite a long time and have never thrown any codes what so ever...

Cool thanks. I used to have an '04 f-150 and it was really sensitive to changes. It had cat back exhaust and when I added the cai would cause codes to pop. If I took the cai off all was fine. Just making sure this is not the case with the xd.
