1 more in the airbox and 1 at the bottom of the resonator

you will haveta go under the car for the resonator

Nope as the moment no

its dark outside and i just put everything together had to tape up my airbox cuz im missing one of the clips. the clip should come in sometime this week then i can take off the tape and take a pic

Alright, I did the mod this morning. It wasnt as easy as I thought, took about an hour, with a lot of cutting and trimming and grinding. It came out great, though I didnt notice any performance increase like others have said. i THINK it pulls harder when accelerating, but it could be just the placebo effect.
Its ok, its free, didnt expect much.

Did you reset your ecu?

and if goldstar can maybe answer this for me...if i remove my grill to be replaced with mesh will the ram air effects be gone? Instead of air getting shoved through the opening we have created, it will just hit the grill and rush into the engine bay with little air being forced into the snorkel. Any thoughts on this?

I'm gonna put a weapon ram air directly to the airbox... place it on the right small grill or maybe the one on the front

how do I reset the ecu? just unplug the battery, no?

 

[Not Jo3L]

Yes and pump the brakes a few times while you wait like 10 mins.

It will help the Ecu relearn faster with the new amount of air it is getting.

 

[poonpower]

pump the brakes while the battery is disconnected, or pump it while the car is turned on?

 

[Not Jo3L]

while the cars negative battery terminal is disconnected and just leave it disconnected for like 10 mins

hook it back up and drive wild for like a 100 miles and your ecu will compensate from the new gain in air.

Really?? can you feel the gain??

 

[Not Jo3L]

Yah when i did the cutout mod i felt a good improvement in lower end tq

took me less force to push the gas pedal in to get up to speed quickly.

When i install my exhaust ill probably reset the ecu again and feel more gain on the butt dyno

ok so after you do the mod.. you disconect the negative wire from the battery.. pump the brake for like 10 mins.. then re-connect the wire and then???

No just pump it like 10 times and then wait for 10 mins.

Hook the negative back up start the car and take it out for a afternoon spin.

Try running it harder then you would normally do and then the car will settle down to normal with more hp gain.

So instead of pumping it leave it there for 10 min.. ok

btw when i leave it there..the jeys shoudl be off or on stage 1??? like hwne all the lights turns on on the dashboard

well after takin my time to read this
umm all you do is
1. unplug negative battery terminal
2. go in car and pump brakes a few times
3. leave your car sitting there with keys out completely untouched for about 10-15 mins the time doesnt really matter.(i usually just grab some food or skate for a while)
4. reconnect battery
5. take it for a drive i usually reset my ecu before trips so the ecu will have relearned itself when i get back to wherever
6. enjoy some newfound hp and tq cuz the rest of your mods are not this free.

i didnt pump the brakes after my CAI and headers...does that mean they have not done anything for me?

 

[Demoniam]

nahh, pumping the brakes just helps to push the last little bit of electricity out of the system. as long as it stayed unpluged for a bit, you should be fine!
