one last question before i try to install mine when i get it. u dont have to remove the wheel or anything to do this right? doesnt it sit right under the headlight?

yellowltcoupe22

Headlight hole is the way to go.

okay i've done the searching and cant get exact answer, how the heck does that stock air silencer come out, the thing connected the stock intake. It looks like rubber plugs hold it in? how do i get those out!?

Black07LS

They are 2 pieces, pry yhe small round piece up, then you can pull the clip out.

there is a star screw at the bottom front side of the air box. Don't worry about it. Just undo the back two nuts and pull the air box up. It will tear the rubber gromet off of the star screw and it shall come out of there.

Alright guys got mine on! its great and sounds great my first real mod to my car. not to hard to get in either. though i lost one of the star screws for my sensor thing. any ideas as to replace it or leave it? seems to be good with 1, i just dont know where to get one.?

one member said there was alignment issue with maf screws and intake so you might be fine with just one.

Black07LS

Take the one screw to a good hardware store and they'll get you one

awesome, got it all installed today (pics to come), didnt have to take the wheel off or anything, the hardest part was getting the stock silencer off, what a pain! anyway, the only problem i have is with the MAF sensor.. do i need a star shaped bit in order to screw it down? i just have it sitting in there for now but not CEL or anything. other than that, very easy install.

DallasCobalt

Did you use the how-to I posted? How does it sound? Feel a difference?

X GEOFF X

i actually managed to get it working before i read your post, but thanks for the link anyway, im sure it will help someone who needs help and sees this thread
sound overall is about the same but you hear it roar at around 3-4k rpm, and you could feel the difference. even at lower RPMs though i can feel the difference (i'm constantly squealing my tires by accident) the only thing is, my gas milage is going down because i cant help but hit those high rpms

yellowltcoupe22

lol its hard to stay outta the throttle once you get any kinda performance mods that makes cool sounds..

X GEOFF X

haha you should have seen my when i got my exhaust
what rims are those in the picture? painted stockers? they look like the ones i have painted black and ive always wondered how they'd look black

yellowltcoupe22

its r-1 drift wheels.. 18's.. they arent stock. i got em for 1200 as a wheel and tire package.. and when i go my exhaust is was always gettin in the gas hard for the first week or so.. lol

X GEOFF X

haha yeah i guess ill have to get used to 20mpg for the next few days

I just installed mine yesterday. Will post pics later. Here's a couple of things. Be sure to check the metal and rubber for loose material. I peeled a bunch of loose rubber off the couplings as well as a few metal spikes sticking out where the mount was soldiered on. I had to trim the small piece of hose as well. My question though is the MAF, does that have to go in a certain way? Or does it matter?

Reason I ask is that after driving around for a bit, I was waiting in line at the car wash, and the RPM dropped to about 700.... stayed there but would occasionally drop even lower. I had my music on and felt the car shudder and then watched the tach and noticed this, I though it was on the verge of stalling. Anyone else get this?
