If you followed the instructions, then there shouldn't be a problem. If you know you did it right, did you check if you have coolant too? I don't have an aem cai in my car, but as far as i know, a car overheats when you don't have a coolant.

It was a stupid fix... Stupid fan fuse. It wasnt because of the intake though, It was just coincidence that happend after I installed it. However there is this weird noise
That started after installation.

How long is weird noise? If only about 20 seconds after a cold start, or a code P0410, then it the air pump. Do some searches on air pump or P0410 and you'll see that it's only for emissions to heat up the CAT on cold starts. After that, you don't really need it and you could even unplug it. Of course.................all that applies only if that is your noise!
