Did you use a dry cone filter or a reusable (oiled) filter? I'm so nervous about an oiled filter fouling my MAF sensor and throwing a code.

But, then again, the oiled filter CAI's on my present Ford Ranger and former Dodge Neon never threw codes.

Honestly whatever the kit came with, everything is plug and play.. car doesn’t throw any codes.. drives amazing honestly, and response so quickly max I love it.

Also, did you notice any increase in intake noise under heavy throttle?

Thanks.
Also there was an increase in intake noise, car sounds very aggressive and sporty.. if that’s not what your looking for I don’t suggest it for you in that end

And the turtle wax spray wax was the best wax i have ever used, by ease of application , gloss value and hydrophobic properties. I also believe the Spray Wax is better than their new product the Seal n Shine.

With that all said , the hybrid ceramic wax is on another level. The depth it provides to the color and the gloss is second to none. And it repels water extremely well. The important part of the hybrid ceramic wax is the application. You do not apply it like a regular wax rather you apply it while the car is wet and rinse it off. If you have no protection on your paint (like previous waxes) you first have to lay down a base coat of the ceramic wax by distributing it with a drying towel, and then coming back for a 2nd coat while the car is wet and just rinse it off.
I used Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax on my three week old Atomic Silver ES 350. After washing it very well and applying it in the two step process described in the videos, my 2019 ES 350 looked very good - really slick,shiny and sparkly. I then took it on a nine hour round trip weekend drive and it looked much more clean than I would have expected after that long a trip.

FYI, the AEM 21-827C Cold Air Intake System is showing as "out of stock" on the AEM website. Looks like the Camry, Avalon & ES350 people are snapping this unit up.

Maybe some of their retailers have some left.

I sent a note to AEM asking when they expect this CAI to be back in stock.

Looking for answers on how to cleanly conceal this cable. Is there something that auto customization people use to tape things into place. I want to secure it next to the ridge to the right of the cable.

3M double-sided extreme tape is what I would suggest for an easy fix. That's what I used to attach my sub amp and digital processor *****. They haven't fallen off all summer.

I thought about doing the same thing but that part of the cable showing above the home button bothered me so decided not to do it. When I have some time I'll run the cable underneath by making some adjustments.
