So I bought a frakencar intake a long time ago in 2k2 when the pipes were still straight. I was under the impression that I would get a unit that would have welded joints, I mean I paid 130 for this during a group deal... So, what happened when I returned it back to stock. The 'weld' breaks while I'm pulling a tube off. Anybody else have this happen?

 

what tha ? it just broke ? now that is lame, and no that is not happend to me and i have had 3 frankencar intakes from blue, black and polished. dont know what you can do but either ask to have it replaced or hit ebay and get a 10 dollar one ? sorry dude life sucks sometimes !

 

Go to a body shop and ask them to weld it back together for you.
Tip the guy $20 and you're all set.
**** happens, things break.

 

So, you've had it installed for 4 years and it just now breaks off when you are removing it from your car? Not seeing a problem with Frankencar.

 

I'd like to see a Frankencar midpipe next to an ebay midpipe. I bet the differences are non exisitant. Frankencar intakes are very pricey for what they are. HAIs. (hot air intakes)

 

I have a Frankencar midpipe FS

 

Speaking of!!!! I've been waiting on my apex-i intake for about 2 months, early responses saying they were sending it the following week i ordered it, and another a month later saying they're moving the shop....and no answer WTF is goin on...i even tried calling paypal to get a hold of em to get my fncken money back, no need of it now lol

 

I think I got one of the preliminary ones using JB weld to hold it together...not sure. At any rate, I know someone with a welder and I think I'll just have'em get it back together (byebye paint job) =(. Oh well, I'm still trying to figure out what the hell that annoying whine is I get at different speeds so the frankencar is the least of my concerns.

 

That whine might be a bad ground.
