new intake

[redpr5]

i got my new sri in today, and im gonna install it in a lil bit. im just wonderin how the stock air intake is removed. i went through the how tos and couldnt find anything about it.

also, on my intake right before the filter there is a black insert with a hole in it. im just wonderin what this is for.
picture attached.

Look for the how-to on how to install a header. I shows how to remove the stock intake.

That hole is for the air temp sensor I believe. You'll see it on the stock intake box.

If you have somewhat knowledge of how to take things apart and back together, u should be okay dude.

yea i was mostly just tryin to figure out the intake part, the rest should be relatively easy.

i think everything more or less clips together until the throttle body
ill figure it out.

the hardest part is gonna be figuring out where to mount the brackets. ive got some ideas tho

Use a zip tie and some creativity.

I've read that it should stay upright, but I'm not sure that's necessarry. It's some kind of idle solenoid...

alright. yea mines pretty close to upright, i just didnt know what to do with it.

i gotta get some mad zip ties and make a better bracket. the master cylinder is KILLIN my intake already

edit: i tied the intake back a lil more and bent my current bracket up some to lift it a lil bit and its clearin the master cylinder now. but zip ties are still in order


i love the sound tho! no annoying whistle, just a nice growl (first)
