is a hydroshield totally necessary? or is it just piece of mind for those of us who are ****?

edit: sorry I didn't read page 2. now I just saw the very last post prior to mine. Thanks

If you drive AT ALL in rain, snow, mist, heavy fog, whatever, your dry filter will get soaking wet. I didn't believe it until I pulled mine out a week after I had drove in heavy rain. It was still wet.

Subscribed..MY CAI/SRI should be here the 29th!

mike25

shouldnt your clamp tighteners(tbolt or worm i cant tell) be positioned at opposite sides? thought i heard this some where

monkeiboy

You mean faced in opposite directions?

tambrico

Is that the tube below the air filter that just seems open, and not being used?

monkeiboy

It generally doesn't look like a tube. More like a boxy attachment with a tube on one end and a belled pipe on the other. You CAN'T have it in there and have a CAI. We were talking about leaving it in there for a SRI, and I was telling him that he should take it out anyway to get a little more airflow.

tambrico

Yeah, I just installed my SRI. What's the best way to take it out?

monkeiboy

Either go through the plastic Wheel well liner and under body liner like in this How to. Or you can "possibly" remove the headlight and headlight mount and get that thing out through there. I don't know if the second one is possible though. It doesn't look like it will fit through. That's why I did the How to the way that I did it.

tambrico

Thanks. I just took it out. That thing was a bitch to get out.

Saved this write up for tomorrow! My injen intake from Brandon97Z is coming tomorrow, 4/30 and i'm for sure installing it after work. Great how to!

monkeiboy

edit- Just so your aware, It IS a Torx bit, not a hex head bolt. BUT, I didn't realize that at the time (It was getting dark) and I made it happen with an allen wrench without realizing. So it can be done without picking up a T-30 sized Torx wrench from whereever.

so whats better a short ram or cold air? cuz im debating on how the cold air intake can gimme more power then a short ram if the filter is located in the bottom corner were hardly any air goes through.

anyone have problems with throwing codes after installing a CAI?? bought 1 for my 2.4L runs good for a bit then starts making the car run shitty....

has a ram air thing which i havent hooked up yet, that make a difference?
everyone remove the lower air box part?
it is an oil filter, do they come oiled or do you have to oil them?
its a Weapon R intake, figured i'd try them out but so far disappointed.....

the oil may have messed up the maf...

doesnt mess up nothing once i reinstall the stock intake, have thought the same.. but if it dont mess up with the stock one then that shouldnt be it.

outtamymind

depends on what your looking for. a short ram will generally give you better low end response where a CAI will tend to give you more of a mid to high range effect

find out what the code is. the oil may have done something to the maf but if it doesn't do it when you put the stock on then chances are you have a leak after the maf, which will cause a run lean code to pop up

Why r there so many threads that have 56k beware and other things like that about 56k?

apathy311

Because the thread has large pictures that would take a modem user a long time to downlaod.
