huh. cheap car. thanks tho!

just bought mine. how this works out for me.

 

so after reading this i got the idea to make my own.....i had some spare parts laying around....ill put some pics up....in a lil while.....it looks good and sounds great....

 

awesome.. can't wait

how do you take that black plastic part off the car?? the one that starts in the front and goes back?? it seems to be like part of the whole stock intake

 

photo?

 

you have two pieces of plastic thats really visible on the motor.. one is the cover that goes over the head and the oil cap comes through and the other is closest to the front of the car which would be your intake pipin.. the engine cover just lifts off after you that the oil fill cap off.. the intake pipe is held on by 3 hose clamps.. one is under the intake that you get to from the drivers side one hold the pipin to the air filter box and the other is the lil hose that comes from your valve cover to the intake pipe.. then there is the maf sensor which you can just unplug till you get ready to put it in the new intake..

 

that

 

yeah thats the intake pipe.. the one under the intake is just below the drum stick your holdin. then the lil hose to the left side is the other one i was tellin you bout..

 

thats ease....if u look right underneath where the stick is at...theres a flat head screw their...u lossen that up....and then with that same flat head screw driver.....right above where the stick is at...theres a plastic push through kinda looks like a plug.....u pry that up with the flat head....and voila....it comes right off....dont forget to disconnect the tube on the left that hooks from the intake to the engine

 

o and there is more under the air filter box that has to be removed and in the bumper but you pull the passenger head light to get to that part.. most pull the enter fender well but i did it through the headlight hole..

 

this is what i just put in like 2 hours ago...not the same intake but i made it out of spare parts i had laying around....kinda mix and match....lol

 

just finished installing mine this morning, i have an 07 so that meant it comes with the sai thing, so for that extra tube i pluged in a little filter from autozone. i turned it on and it seemed ok, but whenm i turned it off, it made a weird noise, so i did it twice and left it so my bro could check it put. when he never showed up i turned it on and the engine light came on .. so i guess ill be taking it off tommorow, so i could take it to the dealersihp.

 

not to bad.. it looks bout like a store bought one..

 

it really does and it sounds great....really loud now

 

most everyone that has put a cai or sri on there balt has ended up throwin a cell no matter what name brand it is.. its nothin thats gonna hurt your car though..

 

well i really put it to the test...havent gotten nothing yet....i took it through some hills flooring it most of the way.....the sound was awesome......sounds louder than my exhaust almost......or around the same......no cel yet....and i really hope i dont throw one anytime soon

 

I used to have an Injen and it never threw a code

 

yeah its been kinda hit and miss with everybody that has put one on there balt.. some throw one some dont.. mine didnt throw one for the first few days but it did throw one though..

 

if im to but the stock intake back would the cel go away?

 

no it will not

 

....yeah it will

 

most cels have to be turned off by computer or scanner but some will go off when the problem is fixed.. it just depends on what the cel is for..

 

eventually it will give it a few days....or a really good run....mayb cross state and the cel will go away

 

Or just clear the code with a scanner, or disconnect the battery for about 30 seconds after you switch back

 

yup good point.....whole lot easier than the run.....lol

 

But if you're like me, I couldnt care less what lights are on on the dash, as long as those needles move quick
