My 1st Intake Install, How Does It look?

[BKJT05]

Hey everybody, i did my first mod to my pro5 today and installed a intake, its a BOMZ intake, with a K&N air filter. I had to cut the pipes a little to make it fit and I also made my own mounting braket. Anyways, tell me what you think?

P.S. check out my lincense plate screws in the last pic, thought they were pretty cool, haha

Also, after installed, when i first started the car up and let it run, the check engine light was on, then i shut the car off and started it again and it went off? Anything I should worry about?

Only if it comes back on

Anybody Else? Does it look like it sitting right? I think i need to do some more cutting and position it better, well at least by looking at other pictures on this forum

Did you reset the ecu (disconnect the battery) when you put the intake in?

 

[03promaz]

The position looks fine to me

It looks fine, but the rest of your engine bay looks like crap.


Plus... if your going turbo dont waste your time and money on N/A applications...

I actually did some more cutting the intake tonight, got it to fit without rubbing on anything, and it seems to even sound and feel better now. Check it out. Im probably not going turbo, unless i hit the lotto or something. Im just going to go with Intake, Exhaust, and header sooner or later. And Speaking Of exhaust...Look what UPS dropped off today....Drum Roll....

thanks, when i saw the size of the tip and muffler section, I was like Damn thats Big, but Im in love with it. I got it from a member on here that only used it for 4-5 months, only paid $300 shipped to my door, going to install it hopefully this week, depends on how much guts i got, im not very mechanic worthy or havent done much. it seems pretty simple, unbolt stock and remove, put this up and bolt, new gaskets, and i got kartboy exhaust hangers.

Its just a cat back right? Or does it include the mid pipe? The only hard blots on the exhaust are the spring loaded bolts on the front of the mid pipe. And make sure you have a new set of blots as well because if im not mistaken your blots on the axle-back portion may be tack welded on.

 

[BKJT05]

um, its a full cat-back. My dad and brothers and I are going to do some bonding and try to install it. or ill start the install and they will help when i get confused. ill make note about new bolts

I have mine pointed down. I personally think it looks better this way, but yours looks pretty good.

well if you have 2100.00 by september its being sold to the first person who offers me the cash.. and when i say complete i mean complete..

only thing u have to do is cut the holes for the intercooler pipes and thats it.. everything is custom fit for the MP5 whoever buys the damn thing is getting a good deal on it

sorry to jack ur thread... but looks nice

 

[musiclikscreams]

i tried pointing mine down and found that it didn't perform as well as when it went to the side. but that was just me

i just ordered the exact same intake less the K&N. Does the ecu have to be reset before the first startup?

looks good man!
