So i dont know how to find out about my intake and if its aftermarket or not. where does the stock air box go? this is a picture i found mine looks just like this. how do i tell if its after market or not?

 

well to begin with that is a stock cold air intake which it looks like its hook up to nitrous. And the stock air box is located at the end of the cold air intake. Just follow the rainbow lol.

 

Oh snap, someone stole your torque damper!

Also, an AEM (that's the sticker I see) would be down in your fender. If it's noisy, you've got an intake. If it's quiet, you've just got the sticker. And if you're asking this question, maybe buying something that someone else has been screwing around with isn't for you. Get comfortable with this site, 'cause you may need to learn fast.

 

haha i was gonna say, those are some pretty nice torque damper brackets you've got there. While the intake piping appears stock, you may still have an AEM CAI. uses the stock tubing until you get down passed the light fixture and into the wheel well. Take your drivers side wheel off, take off the plastic wheel well cover and your cai/airbox will be revealed.

Edit: ^ got to it before me.

 

If he doesn't know if he has an intake, he might need some additional instruction on what the torque dampener is, or the lack of whats he is missing.

 

Just take off your wheel/splash guard and check it out your self. If it has a cone filter with no box, then you have a aftermarket basically.

 

That could also be a left over supply for meth, you need to follow that line and see where it goes. Chances are the guy who had it before you disconnected whatever was there and left the line in.

Hopefully he capped the end of the line so you aren't drawing that small amount of unmetered, unfiltered air into your engine.

Also looks like you've got an intake catch can, thats good.

And I dunno if it's just the picture, but it looks like the belt tensioner has some marks on it, so your belt might have been pulled off to service your alt, s/c, or maybe the guy plugged the silencer ports or some ****.

This is why I like my cars brand new


Oh and wtf is all that electrical tape doing over your right strut tower?

 

sorry that picture is not of my car i just found it and thats exactly what mine looks like with out the cable on the tubing. stickers and all that **** arent mine lol

 

take a picture of your own car and put it up....
