Hey everyone...I did a search on this but I didn't find what I was looking for.

I was thinking about getting an injen intake, but before I did I wanted to know how difficult it would be to clean the intake. Can anyone give me details on what that process is like? Thanks.

 

cleaning the intake? you mean the filter right?

The filter that comes with the injen cai is simply just a pre oiled K&N filter. Maintenance is to clean and reoil every 50k or so. You can find more information on products on the k&n website.

 

Yeah, I wanted info on cleaning the filter. But I wanted to know how to get the filter out of the car to clean it. I know how to clean a K&N, I have one of the panel ones in my car right now.

 

you have the method of taking the entire lower end of the intake piping off to get the filter out, or you can remove the panel under the driver's side of the front bumper underneath the car and the filter sits right above that. It's a much easier way, imo to pull the little brackets off and unscrew 2 screws to get that black undercover off than taking the intake piping out..

 

So it's like changing a fog light bulb, except instead of messing with a fog light you're removing the filter?

 

yup

 

Thanks Ducky...looks like I'm gonna go for injen

 

good luck

I've got one on my '02 and I just did 2 installs on an '00 and '01 this week, and the 00-01 install took a bit more than mine.. nothing that can't be done in 45 minutes though. almost broke my elbow taking the resonator box off the '00 though by hitting it on the transmission..

 

Ouch! I too have the Injen and found it took a while to install and costed me more money, although not Injen's fault (MAF meter) Anyhow, I love the intake and recomend it to everyone. Good Luck!!

 

It took me an hour the very first time I installed it. The second time it took me less than 30 minutes to take off the stock intake and slap on the injen. Just take out the battery to make things easier to position

 

Yeah.. Thanks again bro for the help. Now I have this throaty max that whistles sometimes. I like it.

 

hey! my elbow is still sore..
have you noticed more difference in the last couple days? I installed another yesterday during the lunch hour for one of my co-workers.. seems like everyone I know is getting an injen now..
