Injen Air Intake
Okay so I have an injen air intake and I keep hearing it was a bad choice.
What are my options for fixing it. Could I take out the long down pipe and switch the air flow sensor with the short pipe and put the filter on the end of the short pipe? Or should I do the battery relocation? |
Short ram FTW, but if you have all that pipe and want it to be true cold air, do the battery relocate and put the filter down the fender.

People are quick to hate, but slow to help :/

- JWT Popcharger
- Custom 3-4" short ram intake (might require a tune, bigger injectors etc though) - ebay sri |

Could I add a popcharger to the current piping or what? Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm a computer guy and no nothing about cars. I really appreciate your feedback! |

You can also think about doing the ghetto air box (GAB) |
There's a really good write-up on the org somewhere about the battery relocation. That would seem like a fun project. But if not, just try to make a short ram. Remember, the main reason of having an intake is for sound. I have a random aluminum pipe short ram with some couplers holding stuff together and it sounds and looks great.

Yes but not you'll be suck hot radiator air for sure....The short setup is more responsive and doesn't bog down due to the 39" length intake which is way too restrictive at High RPM and will stall your acceleration....I had one and switched over to a JWT Hybrid SRI!

Could I remove the length, and turn it into a short ram?

You can use the existing material from the Injen intake and stock intake parts to make a short ram. Basically, all you need from the Injen intake is the filter, filter adapter. The stock intake parts include that flexible rubber piece, the MAF of course, and the MAF gasket.
The only thing that might be an issue is the air temp sensor. What I did was make a hole in my intake filter (rubber side at the base) and plugged my air temp sensor there. It works just fine. |

Use the same filter you have. I'll take a picture of my setup and post it here today. I'm working so I'll have to do this when I head out at lunch to run some errands. Check back in a few hours for the picture of my setup.

Here you go...see attached picture. The item circled is the air temp sensor I plugged into the air filter directly.
Thanks though! |

The 5th gen has one extra hose i believe, I still have my sound resonator on because i don't know how to extend the hoses..

To extend hoses just buy new ones, go get some nice automotive hoses and they come in all different colors if you wanted to dress up a bit. Best intake = TB --> MAF --> nice straight mid-pipe --> velocity stack --> 6" filter BTW, for those that don't feel like paying retard prices for a JWT or Stillen intake, you can buy a nice aluminum velocity stack and filter separately for WAY less. |
