so i just got a little sri today, nothing fancy, ill post pics later, but i was wondering. is this a bad idea for any long trips to high altitudes? i live in san diego and im going to big bear for a snowboarding vacation with my dad for a week. its supposed to snow alot and im wondering if the altitude, thin air, snow and cold weather is gonna be a bad thing for the sri. i havent had any CEL's since i put it in so i guess thats good. any help is appreciated. thanks everyone.

so i think ill leave it in then. what's a heat soak? is it cauz the sri is still close to the engine? also i just got a cel im wondering if its because i just put the new intake on the car, when should it go away because it came on about 11 miles after i installed the sri.

The CEL won't go away if it detects a problem. If it came on after the intake install, then it is possible the intake is causing it. Get the CEL checked to see what the problem is or try putting the stock intake back and see if the CEL goes away.
No it is not normal. Read my reply.
