VRSF front mount intake question
Recently installed the VRSF front mounted cold intake on my 2016 M4. First day or two no CEL then went to take it today for a drive and the CEL came on. Checked all the Mass Air flow censors and redid them to make sure they were seated correctly and still had CEL. Disconnected the positive battery connection still CEL, disconnected the negative...still on. Is this a common issue with this intake? Thoughts

My front mount intakes weren't VRSF- they were Agency Power/VR Performance. But as someone else said this seems to be pretty much all brands of front mounts.
I had tons of lean codes and idle issues stem from having them on my M4. I thought I had a massive air leak or MAF sensors were dirty. I smoke tested, cleaned sensors. Car ran fine once it was warm, but on cold starts it would violently shake side to side like a cammed muscle car and would kill out completely sometimes. They looked cool, but they were the issue. Not sure if it's the weird angled design of them and how the air interacts with the sensors or what, but there was something about the front mount intakes my car really didn't like. Went back to standard VRSF intakes under the hood, car idles fine with no codes |

Just for another data point, I've got MSR front mounts and have never seen a code.

I have RK titanium front mounts and I haven't experienced a single issue with any of the stuff listed above. Might be common with shitty VRSF parts...
