Hey guys,

Installed me injen intake a while back and ever since, have noticed that the start up sound doesn't sound clean. The car always starts up, but I'm thinking when I installed it, I might have accidentally, budged something? It's not overly concerning, rather a bit annoying. I don't think it's anything serious.
BTW love the intake lol. :D

Any ideas guys?

Have you tried isolating the noise?

I remember with my euro i used to have an injen on it and it used to be very rough on startup. I took the injen off an still rough. I thought it was the spark plugs so I changed them but no difference. How many k's ur car got on it?

Nothing is blocking the filter is it?

Also define "rough" does it should like a diesel? If so get your valve clearance checked.
