daamnnn..thanks, so the plug that u disconnect off of the stock hose, plugs into the slot on the new intake pipe? becuz on my pipe it just looks like a open hole,doesnt seem like u can connect that harness to anything..... lol

 

wow, no flamers yet...next time use the search tool

 

the short ram is easier but the cold air shouldnt be a problem...

 

wat seach tool.. i didnt see it in the how to section

 

ok, see up at the top right corner of the window where it says Welcome, bboyfreeflow right underneith that there is the word Search thats the search tool

 

The search tool on this forum.

Welcome to the forum BTW.

Man a CAI is super easy to put in...just look at that how to and you should be fine

 

ok thannx... as far as the mass flow plug, so i take the plug from the stock hose, and i screw it onto the new intake pipe, right?

 

Unplug it...then take out the screws...then screw it into the new pipe...put everything together....make your final tightenings...then plug it back in

oh, you have that extra tube...i for get what it's called, and what it does but you're suposed to do something with it

 

sai? you need to buy a breather filter and put it on the hose.

here dood, for the tube

 

thanx...thats whati thouhgt too.. is that , theres really no need for that tube...

 

its just smog crap...i adds air to the exhaust...useless

 

if i wanted to just do the short ram intake instead...and theres no slot in the pipe to put the air flow plug, is there somewhere else u can put the plug??

 

the short ram setup should still have the slot for the maf sensor

 

aight so after spending alot of time working on it, and not being able to find a 10mm socket to take the last piece of that piece of **** intake out that is tucked behind the bumper, after hrs of tryin to take it off with other tools, finally found a 10mm haha and managed to install the intake comepletly... i also ordered my intake from ebay,, much cheaper, only right under 100$ and the only thing i need to buy is the mini filter for that extra tube i have.. other than that, i took it for a test drive, sounds muchhh deeper tone, and it picks up much quicker.... i cant beleiv that i did it myself too, haha

 

I'm sorry help it

 

thanx to everyone for helping out, appreciated! ,,here is the pics..

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...low/intake.jpg - after! i wish the filter was showing, i like the appearance, but then again, the air wudnt really be that cold near the engine,


also i know this is kind of silly, but does the brand name of the intake really make that much of a difference,,, because, it is really just the steal pipe and the filter.... just wondering, because i found mine off of ebay, so just curious

 

no real difference other than the name. sometimes they will throw a CEL other times they wont. I dunno there really isn't a substantial difference. Except with Injen you can go between CAI and SRI

 

but isnt cold air "better" than short ram ?
