Mine is sealed very tightly and also the hood still sits perfect. Another thing is god damn is everyones GMPP so fuxxin loud? Every time I hit about 4k rpm's I can hear nothing but intake.

Brraaapp

Yup, thats the best part. 1000 rpm, 2, 3, 4..,Brraaapp. shift... and so on

06VRCoupe

Yeah, I have the Injen and I know what you guys are talking about. 4K is about the loudest I think it gets. 5 and 6K I hear my engine/exhaust over the intake, then shift into 3rd, lol!

2nd is the best gear to have fun in (I'm sure most of you know!)

Brraaapp

I wish it was snown her

I like mine, but adding the scoop and sealing the intake to the hood so that it breathes from the scoop definitely toned it down inside the cabin (it sounds the same or better from outside).

Brraaapp

Have you ever had any comments on your scoop? Also do you plan on painting your scoop to match your stripe? Just curious, nice job though!

Any check engine lights with the gmpp intake? Did you disconnect the battery?

Brraaapp

No check engine lights. And no I didn't disconnect the battery. The only thing i was cautious with was the MAF sensor and I covered my throttle body.

toddsbalt

does MAF sensor unscrew out of the old intake or does it clip off? also how does the wire harness for the MAF sensor come off? Shout the throttle body be covered with a rag?

Brraaapp

YOU should first unclip a little gray piece on the MAF sensor then it will unclip. That just for the Harness part of it. leave the Maf sensor in the stock tube until your ready to put it in the GMPP tube. IT will give you a different set of screws to use so don't jump the gun and use the stock ones. I covered mine with a clean shop rag. ill try and post some pics. The only parts that you reuse on the whole instalation is the two hose clamps on the PCV.

Well im installing my intake tomorrow... so do you disconnect the battery before you do anything so it can learn it or does it not matter? And also in one pic in the instrutions you can see like a bowtie on the black pipe... does anyone have that on theres?

Brraaapp

You dont have to disconnect the battery but if it makes ya feel better than go ahead. I think that pic that your talking was just one of there mok ups or prototypes or something. your gonna love the feel and sound my friend.

LSCobaltlover05

thanks, i was thinkin it was just a prototype, but i say we get streetbadges or someone to start working on a decal for there or something...

LewiSS

Yes, the scoop generates a lot of controversy. Some really like it (I do) and others don't. It's carbon fiber, so I have no plan to paint it. I did make the trim around it match the hood. Take a look at the how to's - click on the links in my sig. Since then I've re-done the gasket on the hood and it's much more professional (looks factory) and added an SS hood blanket with a much better cutout for the scoop hole. I need to take pics and update the how to.

So that grey thing uncips from the black part?

LewiSS

Yes, but for the swap I don't remember taking it off. You can just take the 2 screws out that hold the MAF in the intake tube and CAREFULLY lay it aside with the wires attached. Then when you install the new intake tube you can replace the MAF in the new tube and screw it back down.

NOTE: You MUST use the screws supplied with the GMPP intake (they're in a clear plastic bag). You cannot use the ones that held it in stock - they're different thread.

Brraaapp

You are exactly right my friend!

hardtocope

don't u run the risk of getting it dirty that way?

Well i just installed mine and i am also having the hood problem... what did u do to fix it cause mine really sits up high on the passenger side and low on the driver side... the sealer is pressed down as far as i can press it... what do i do?

Brraaapp

I unscrewed the filter and then i turned it towards the driver side and it sunk nicely in the air box. Thats what was hangn mine up. I know it sounds dumb but make sure the gasket is snap down, i pushed with moderate pressure and its on there. but that should take care of it.

LSCobaltlover05

I took off the gasket and turned the filter so its in the box and my hood still sits high... I think its a problem w/ the air box and theres nothing i can do... I did get into an accident before so maybe it has to do w/ that

Brraaapp

the accident prolly has a lot to do with it. Mine still sits a little higher also, as you can see in the pic I posted. What I did was I watched while I shut the hood to see what the hell was going on. It was th filter at first, then i turned it and it dropped a little. Now its the rubber seal but its not that bad anymore.

LSCobaltlover05

Ya, its like where the seal hits the metal and not the blanket... but i just took her out driving and you can really hear the difference after around 3500 rpms, it was raining bad so i couldnt have too much fun though...
