AWeb80 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 For you guys with intake pipes..... where the tuve is connected to the throttle body, what did u use? can you take a close up pics please? I got 3" pipe, but need a way to connect it to the throttlebody. I checked out rubber pvc piping connections, but that is too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybass Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm interested to know this also. I just got piping for my CAI also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navybass Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I just added my CAI today. To join the pipe to the throttle body I went to Pep Boys and picked up the coupler (the red piece). It worked perfectly. I also got all the piping at Pep Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am missing one though, for regarding he/she/you (formal) I can't think of it. I wish I would pay more attention in that class Sorry 4 the hi, jack.

5speedz34 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Silicone is going to cost you a bit, it was about $35 for the coupler on my car and it's not the right color, but they last forever, definatly worth the $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I don't have a pepboys....i've got oreilly's, advance, and napa.....i've called all of them....and nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit thats expensive. I paid like $8 CND for each of mine. Vibrant performance makes silicone couplers and different sizes and bends of aluminum intake tubing.

Well, I had to get mine overnighted and mine is actually a reducer from 4" to 3". Adam, check out a speed/ricer shop, they should have one. If not order one online.

EurosportZ34 Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 what's that shiney pen like thing right above your cone filter, between your tube and your battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuntzie Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 what's that shiney pen like thing right above your cone filter, between your tube and your battery? i think it attached to the fender to hold the intake in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybass Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Not exactly a CAI you got there. It will be when I'm completely done with it. I'm going to get a "Y" pipe, add another filter, and put red flexible ducting from the filters to the hood scoops. Sort of like a home-made ram air system. The shinny thing is a bracket to keep the air filter from flopping around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted November 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I think your hood scoops are too far back on the hood to get actual ram air.....i think the air coming off the front of the car will be deflected over them ya, you'll get air, but it won't be "ramming" in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
