    K&N Tune

    My car is not happy running a K&N filter. It will throw a code any go "limp home" within 100 miles. I was told with HPTuners I could tune for it. What do I need to adjust to make the car happy? BTW, I did not buy Pro although I get the feeling I should have.

    Thanks!

    In other words keep the MAF happy and you can run any CAI or filter combo you want.

    Yes, the intake and filters will typically skew the MAF. Tune it and you should be good.

    Now the K&N can go back in and stop living in a box on the washroom floor where it's been since the CEL's.
