would leaving it just hanging throw a CEL? or is it safe?

 

Shouldn't throw a CEL, my friends car hasnt and it's been like that for over a year

 

awesome, and he didn't have any trouble with emissions or anything? sorry, i've been into computers for years and every time i try to upgrade any part i end up creative half a dozen more problems for myself.. just trying to make sure that my curse doesn't follow me into cars

 

Well think of it this way, If you ever do get a CEL, and it's related, all you have to do is connect the pipe to the intake somehow, no biggie.

It's not something that will cause functionality issues

 

yeah good point, thanks for your help

 

anytime

 

I got mine yesterday. Opened the box today to find intercooler piping kit....

8 Cuplers
16 T bolts
8 assorted pipes, some with bends and what not.


I got a steal. For $44 I got a $100 worth of piping.

 

They sent the wrong thing?

 

Yeah. It's the $189.99 dollar Intercooler kit, minus the intercooler.

Invoice reads correctly... i just got the wrong item. Can't use the charge pipes as an intake because they are too small.

 

would it be cheaper to go to autozone and just buy the pipes and stuff there or no just pay the 45$

 

You'd be better off buying the one they sell. THe one at autozone won't have the appropriate cut-out for the MAF sensor.

 

so basically the cut out for the maf sensor is the big factor

 

That and the fact that this intake was made specifically for our car

 

aaahhh, ok cool i really am thinking about buying this. again what are the pros and cons of havin it?? mainly the pros

 

It's an intake... looks pretty. makes a cool noise when you rump the gas. Improved horsepower and torque.

 

even if your cars auto??

 

Your tranny has nothing to do with it.

 

ok now i have the ls base model and its an auto.

LAME.

i know but was all i could afford does anyone hear the wwwhhiiiiisssssiinng when you hit the gas?? stock? deos anyone know what that is and how much diffrent does the cold air make in a sound diff. does some one have a sound clip

 

great find........thank you

 

Did you remove the resonator?

 

Does anyone have pics of the intake installed and the platic cover put back in the engine bay?
Thanks

 

um... i don't know what that is so no.

ok ok just say it n00b!

my cars not fast or ne thing it just has fancy lights

 

i believe the sound your hearin is the bearings in the alternator.. it kinda sounds like a turbo spoiling up.. is that the sound your talking bout?

 

yeeaahhhh

 

yeah thats just the alternator makin that sound.. there aint anythin wrong with it though..
