Just put on the Steeda CAI with Xcalibrator tune and after about 20 miles, the check engine light came on. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions? :scratch:

I installed the MAC "Straight Shot" CAI (very similar to yours) and I was fine until the second or 3rd time I fired it up. Then came the dreaded CEL. I also have an SCT X Calibrator and fortunately the tuner who I bought it from was able to program a new tune to adjust the air/fuel mixture ratio and it went away. I don't know what to tell you if you are bone stock, but the correct a/f ratio is the key.
