i just bought an Injen SRI for my ‘06 accord. took all the stock piping cases and tubes off, put the injen in and realized it was made for a car with a MAP sensor not a MAF. honda stopped putting MAP‘s on in 04. now i have an intake that doesnt work properly because i cant put the MAF in. i have a small hole in which to inster the MAP would it be worth my time to try to position the MAF in this hole just right so it will work or should i send the whole unit back and get my money back for another one? will it even function correctly like this?
If you're able to send it back and get your money refunded, that's the best way to go. Put your stock intake back on and run with that since it's been designed to work with your engine, the computer is programmed based on it's airflow and it's the best you can get for your car. Cold air intakes really aren't useful on today's computer controlled cars. For detailed information on the problems with cold air intakes just read the article referenced at the link below.
