yea its three inches or at least mine was, whos to say with their quality products that they are all the same

 

lol true that

 

hp gain is minimal in our cars...maybe 2-3whp, i cant see it makin more than that, i got 7.5whp out of ebay intake+lsj header+lsj dp+lsj cat...yup 7.5whp and 19.2wtrq

ps-ima gain a good 80-100whp from this thing later in july to know how, all you have to do is look at my sig and ull see how

 

imma guess its possibly with some BOOST! o yea something we all want

 

yup, this intake goes the same way my Ic piping was going to go, so yeah, for me its worth alot more hp, but like i said normal numbers are 2-3whp, maybe some more if its winter cold

 

unless your in AZ where its never COLD.

 

there you will see a power loss as the air outside is hotter than the air in the engine bay lol

 

got my intake in a while ago, no filter, clamps all wrong, and the coupler needed to be "skinned" a but on the inside, for those thathave it you know what i mean...pic when installed coming later tonight

 

were u able to make those fit...i got mine, still waiting on filter to come, just wondering before hand if clamps with force will fit or if i should just plan on gettin some clamps

 

I think one of the clamps fit. the rest i needed to get bigger ones in order to fit.

 

there you go, the hose from the valve cover is some power steering hose i found in the garage, a tad bit to small thats why it doesn wrap all the way down, but it still connects...now the clamps dont fit, period, i used the ones off my old custom SRI...took them off and used them...the one for the throttle body doesnt really need a clamp, that **** is tight enough as is...youll see when you put it on, no way your car will nock it loose, also if you wondering what that ugly **** on my filter is, its epoxy, the filter i used a K&N filter that a 03 f-150 would use, it is meant to have a clamp together design theu the outer ring, but i epoxy'd a coupler inside of it so i can use a clmap intake style...so yeah, the **** is strong, i swung the intake around for a whle to test it out, i wil replace it for a AEM shortly...

 

oh god that filter looks hidious

 

yeeah but you cant see it so i couuld careless...pplus ts a K&n...so i knwo its a good one, just using ti until i can get the AEM

 

actually you are probably right so far i have lost about 3 miles per gallon then again i have a check engine light with my secondary intake. (i hate cali sometimes) But im working that out right now need to give it a day or two and then well really see the diff.

wondering if putting a bag of ice on the intake will help. LOL j/k

Overall i like it. Great tone, CHEAP, and shinny.

 

What filter should i get to put on this cai? b/c i just realized the filter does not come with it.

 

get a AEM dryflow filter for it, best kind so far, and i think im going to heat wrap mine...just to help keep temps down a bit...

 

what is that? Heatwrap. Sorry if i seam stupid, in all reality I kinda am when it comes to tech talk and cars.

And what will that do?

 

I'm pretty pissed at their customer service, the thing is pictured as having a filter, yet when i opened the box, NO FILTER. I called and they were of no help whatsoever, said they would ground ship another filter, probably take 2 ******* weeks. I said forget it and refund my money for the filter and the ass said he'd only give me 3 bux. Still just going to go buy one I guess. I just dont feel like waiting.

 

yup, i took the 3 dollars, something is better than nothin, plus i didnt care for the filter i have my k&n as a temp uuntil i get the AEM

 

haha, thats funny same thing he said to me except he never offered a new filter, just said if i put sponge on the end of it, it would work exactly the same..lmao

 

I just ordered one

haha it says one remaining

 

make sure u order a filter and get some clamps because your gonna need them

 

I got an old filter from my camaro that should work and clamp from checkers once i get the intake

 

Did anyone else have their MPG drop a few points after installing this? Around town I used to get like 30 now only 27. Not sure what thats all about.

 

it's called lead foot a cai should make your mpg go up
