whoa mama that thing is loud. job took less than an hour, works great. i am somewhat worried about the construction though, it looks clean, but is it gonna hold. The only problem that i ran into was i bought a nipple that was too small in length so i couldnt get the hose to attatch. Solution, well the hole was already a bit small for the nipple, so i just forced the heater hose through it, funny thing is that i feel way more comfortable with it like that. I mean its a good fit, it took 2 guys and needle nose pliars to make that miracle happen.

 

Ya, I'm enjoying mine too. My suggestion is, get some rubber cement used for tire patches and put a bead around the heater hose on the inside and outside to help make sure it soesnt slip out. And ya, as far as the sound, I get nothing but looks from peopl. I hope its a good kind of look, and not the look we give the Honduh owners!

 

hmm, ive been considering this intake but leaning towards the cai, but for the difference in price it is definitely worth thinking about, do you notice any change in the performance at all? THANKS

 

i have a k+n filter, and removed the stock airbox....what does the upper intake do? where does it go? and HOW CAN I MAKE IT!!!

 

If the upper intake does nothing for power, it at least cleans up the engine bay. I didn't notice any performance increase, or sound increase. I think the POP Charger that I have drones out the upper intake for sound...

One thing I did differently, is pick up a 1/2" threaded to 5/8" Barb adapter. It has a shoulder on the Barb side which allows you to screw it into the rubber 3" coupling, and it allows you to counter tighten the nut to something (I used a conduit lock nut.) Besides, it also gives you a lot more room to clamp the heater hose to... Please, please if you do this mod, use liquid thread lock on the lock nut.

As a side note, while this is a cheap mod, I plan on replacing it with a PR upper intake when funds become more available. I think I would sleep better at night assured that something won't come apart and enter the throttle body by accident... Just my 2 Cents worth...

 

what does it replace exactly?

 

The tall resonator box between the MAF and the Throttle Body...
