Finally got my frankencar in!!!!

So after 2 months I finally got my Frankencar and installed it today. This thing is sweet! Granted I haven't been in any other max's with an intake, but it sounds much sweeter than an intake on an integra or prelude. Can't say I notice a power differnece (except that i seem to have some torque steer now), but I have only had it on for like 30 minutes. The only thing was that the install was harder than I thought and harder than on some other cars I have put them on. Butman is it worth it.

Yeah i intalled mine the othere day. The only problem i have is the hosing that came with the intake dosent fit on my intake, or even on the old place that the stock hoasing was on. Does anyone know where to buy hosing?

I did not order a franken, i got this one ( click on the link below )
It looks better, and has a bend in the pipe so it fits perfict, so installing it was easy...and i dident have to wait like alot of people do for the franken intakes....the only problem i had was it was the hose that came with the intake , dident fit on the intake

What kind is this and where did you get it? Am using my PR midpipe but rather get a stand alone midpipe and just sell the CAI together.

No I couldn't have made the same thing for $10 with the quality the frankencar has OK. Why do some of you people always got to put down Frankencar. I put mine on with the apexi filter and it is awesome. It has a definite nice insrease in horsepower and sounds fu##en great. A nice deep throaty rumbly sound when you floor it which I never get tired of and sometimes lower my radio just to listen to it.

I love it , it looks so much better then the franken , and it is bent, so it fits in the bay better, franken intake is hard becuase it dosent fit 100% ... Its cromed, i shined mine up and it looks really good...the quality seems to be good , the conectors fit 100%, the piping, is strong, and well made, i love it ...my car pulls so much harder top end, and my car being a auto witch lags top end, i could really feel it.
