Ok so I finish installing the intake. Sounds a tad louder than what I wanted. But I do feel a bit of power on the top end. Its not much. But its there.
But 2 things that I dont like.
It does not fit correctly what I mean is that im not able to put the engine cover. The intake/heatshield is too back. If I push it out the vacuum hose wont fit right. so I cant get the cover on. Also I hear like a "turbo spooling" sound. Can this be a hose not in correctly? I checked them and they look fine. What you guys think? Also if you have this intake did you guys have this problem?

i have had mine for 2 years and it fits perfect!!! the only noise i hear is from the cone, its pretty loud. if it doesnt fit good, u put it on wrong.. it fits in there like its stock.

I have always had my engine cover off so idk bout that, but the sound you are describing may be the vacume

Riken

So it might be a hose?

Its A Little Hard To Put On You Have To Check Al Again Make Sure Is Right But It Will Fit AND THE SOUND IS THE FILTE SUCKING AIR

Riken

Riken, the noise you're hearing is the whistle of the intake cone itself, nothing to be worried about.

if you can't find it you can just buy the K&N recharge kit. it comes with a spray can of oil.

yeah y are the letter capitalized?? Also the noise is the the intake sucking welcome to the world of aftemarket intake sounds pretty good huh? I dont' have an intake on this car but had them in teh past and makes a nice sound but i can just buying an intake for 200-400 dollars for barely any power but it looks good glad like it...

ahh.... you should use high [ressur eair to remove the excess oil.

Re-clean your MAF after one week.

Riken

Lol ive had plenty of modded cars. It was a hose, all fixed now, thanks to a 54 cent clamp.

Rotard isnt wrong guys, hes referring to the dash VIBRATING from the loud intake, mine does at certain RPM's, yours will eventually too as your cars age.

Im surprised you say you feel a difference, Im almost certain I lost power with this intake!! haha. I just put a ram air duct on to itll actually be a 'cold' air intake as opposed to a 'hot engine air' intake.

I think the intake looks so sexy in the engine bay though, plus it adds plenty of sound which is cool.

All and all Im happy with mine also, but I do not believe this gives 10 horsepower as claimed.

Nice intake

Riken

lol thanks.


Yeah not sure about 10HP but top end was a bit different. I have a good drive to work everyday so I know my car verrrry well.
