Ive searched and read thru a few threads on here for the 2.2l but no has confirmed the actual diameter for the throttle body and the air box outlet (towards tb). Ive seen others mention 2.5 in 2.75in 3in and even 3.25in. Id like to just remove the intake once and I just want something simple, I was going to use a 90 deg spectre chrome tube and a 6 inch chrome tube with 2 couplers also and just put a breather hose the valve cover nipple. And also put spectre's air duct flex tube from the bumper into the air box. I got a kn filter already. I got a buddy that works at autozone and can get me these items cheap.

Just wanted to know others opinions on the parts that Im using only. Opinions like maybe Im using to short of an intake tube, or maybe i need the 22 degree bent one instead of a straight tube. Ive seen to many other threads get completely sidetracked because some think the money can go to something better like an aftermarket intake and then everyone gets pissed and defensive. I simply just want opinions on parts that should be used. Thanks

 

I have a spectre intake, i kept the stock air box. Its cheap but deffinatly not as good as an "actual" intake. Your choice.

 

Wow. what a quick ass reply. thanks. what length tube did you use? straight or bent? what diameter? thanks for your help

 

Give me a min to find a pic and i will post it, should answer all of your questions.

Tada....

 

U DA MAN!!!! I'll be stopping by autozone after work. Thanks

 

there's a website out there that selling 2.2 cai's for like 40 bucks ans shipping, you'll have to search for it i don't remember where it was

 

ebay...

 

if you wanna get rid of the box, use a 90, a straight 6", followed by a 45 degree bend, than a cone filter, thats what i did and just had a breather on the valve cover

 

What about the maf sensor?

 

they have a maf sensor tube available!

 

how much would this run if you did a full custom CAI? how much of a HP gqain would u get as opposed to the injen CAI?

 

3-5ish

 

3-5 more than injen or 3-5 less? or 3-5 only??

 

3-5 only, probably...

 

with an intake u get like 3-5 hp. n i don't even think thats whp gain. i have a custom built intake from autozone. n i have a k&n (buying the dryflow soon) sounds great, n i noticed gains, not too much though.

 

also you can do what I did.. pretty much is same as Red's but with a exahust tube,,
I also have a K&N drop in

 

advancedjdmparts.com

sold out quick.

 

how much would this run me?

 

Also for who eve decides to do this and keep the air box like i did, make sure and rip out all the **** below the air box, theres alot of it. ; )

 

Imma keep my airbox, ill probably connect a hose to the bottom of my airbox and run it to the air vents at the bumper.

 

i had gone out and bought two of the peices for the intake and they didn't have the 22 degree bend, so i waited an now i think today i'll go pick it up

they do have one for gm cars, but its not the same maf sensor slot that we have....
