Today, I finally got the parts needed for the OSCAI.

I start taking off the stock intake and I was surprised to see this:

BOTTOM:


TOP:


I was expecting an L-pipe and a silencer but it seems my car didnt come with those. The part where the L-pipe should be is just a closed stub -- like an amputated limb or something.

I searched and noticed that Empz mentioned the same thing when he did his oscai. I'am gonna hacksaw it off like he did.

No real point to this post.. just wanted to share pics

Well.. um... how do I say yes without saying yes? Enough 2k1 owners have mentioned it at this point that I am starting to assume all 2k1s are that way.

I have also 2001 but i didn't take the scoop out i just saw if there is an L pipe option and i didn't feel it so i was pretty sure it was blocked. I thought of buying a 2k scoop but then i heard it didn't fit the 2001. all this makes the installation a lot more complicated. sucks for us the 2001 owners.
