my thoughts EXACTLY. if you did indeed start having this problem right after you put on your intake, it is most likely that restrictive ass 3 inch piping your using.

why in the world would you make an intake with piping smaller then stock??

IMO your problem was probably there before the CAI, or you messed something up. An open cone 3 inch would probably flow as well as stock. When I put a 4 inch CAI on my car, there was an immediate improvement according to the butt-dyno, front wheels spinning easily....and all the way to redline. It made a huge difference with the stock exhaust in place, u-bend included.
