    where is a cold air intake how to?

    I've been searching for like 2 hours..maybe I'm tired and dumb...but could someone please please help me out. I need a how to with pics if possible. I found the on but that is just text and assumes that you have the instructions that came with the injen kit...well i got mine off of eBay with zero instructions. I can deduce a lot from pics but don't want to screw anything up. I would also love instructions oh how to remove all the stock stuff, air box etc. Hopefully I can get started on this in 6 hours when I wake up at 8am... I'm anxious!

    PS here's the pic http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

    how is that going to attach to the car then? the other pics I've seen have it attaching with another rubber thing and a hose clamp but you can see that mine only came with the rubbers for the MAF install...am I missing a rubber connecter hose and clamp? I have yet to look at this outside under my hood as I just got the intake tonight. Anyone else seen this particular intake installed? It looks just like the AEM if you ask me!

    here's a pic of a "real" one...you can see that blue rubber that I'm talking about where it connects...mine is just metal, but bends there the same way the blue rubber does...I'm confused


    Thanks guys!

    Well...it's finally in...not finished by any means...will prob have to take another 2 hrs to get to fit perfectly and mount my coolent resivour better (any suggestions?!?!?!), but it works and is air tight and sounds and preforms awesome!

    So much for fking no modification required though...I had to go buy a damn hack saw from walmart at 11pm...

    someone said that it took them 45 min...well they must be a gear head god because it took me from 8:45pm until 2:15. But it's really nice, and no CEL or anything...I had it at first but didn't realize that i needed to connect the air temp sensor from the stock airbox to the lead inside the car. After that and a reset of the computer it worked and idled wonderfully!

    I love my intake :-D next is a cat back exhaust...any suggestions? Not too loud, I've heard racing beat is pretty good?!?!?

    Thanks for everything you all do! I love the forums

      pics of it finished

      It's installed! Don't worry...that little bit of yellow will be gone or added to. Can't decide yet. What do you guys think? Paint the valve cover yellow? Or get a chrome one?


      Here is a pic of what I had to do to the bracket...I took a hack saw to it along with a dremmel. Getting this bracket to fit while the tank was mounted to it was the hardest part. I had to drill a custom hole, and ended up needing a washer. I picked up the bolt and washer new from a hardware store because the ones I had were rusty and frozen. This image doesn't show it...but I also cut the hose to fit better so it wouldn't accidently get caught in the fan. I wanted my overflow tank tucked away for a cleaner looking install. Now all I have to do is swap or paint my valve cover and intake shield!



      Hope this might help someone mount their coolant tank better!

        Looks good, I like the black intake. Haven't seen one up close like that before.
