Cold or Ram Intake

if you just want the extra pep, and dont care much for the looks just go to any big hardware type store (I used rona last time, in canada) but im sure home depot etc has them is just some rubber pipe couplings (about $6?) and get a muffler shop to bend you a piece of 2.5" pipe to get the filter where you want it, toss one coupling on the TB->Pipe and the filter should have a rubber end of the appropriate size with its own metal clamp and just clamp that on the other end of the pipe, some people like to secure those kinds of things down, some just let it sit there.

as for that hose that comes off the intake pipe right before the TB im not sure if its a vacume line or just a breather hose so you can either get one of those little tiny filters for it, or put it on where the hose starts, or see if the muffler shop can cut a small hole in your pipe with a blowtorch and weld on some kind of small bung for the hose (they prob' wont have a pice of pipe small enough so you might have to get one from a plumbing shop, id say about 1/4"-1/2" but measure off the stock one.

they will prob only charge you $20 + shop fees for the pipe (maybe more for the small cut/weld but I dont think so) just say your doing it straight cash and they will usually cut you a good deal and lots of people get simple intakes done at muffler shops so they should know what you are talking about.

That is prob what im gonna do as well.

well the shop I was going to use to get the pipe made up is to busy so what I did in the mean time just to try it out was attach the filter to the end of the corrigated intake pipe and had the filter just sitting in the stock air filter box (with cover and filter removed) the hood closed so that it was only gently pushing down on the filter which seemed to hold it in place which was good, and although I didnt notice much more pull (even though its hard to tell just tooling around the local streets, staying below 80k) the engine sounds alot more agressive but the setup still manages to filter out most of that hissing sucking sound.

anyways I was wondering what is the really long rectangle thing that hangs down from the intake right after the air box, there is no hoses going in and out and it has some foam stuff down at the lower end and it hooks into a rubber holder that is on the air box for stability, unless its some kind of intake resonator I have no idea what its for :|
