I spent some time at PepBoys today and here is the result:

I have to say during normal driving you can't hear the difference but once you open it up sounds really mean.

If you get some flex pipe, you can run that into the inner fender fell for cooler air. Looks sharp!!

Ok, here is the layout. It took me a while because I was taking one part at a time and test fit it but here is what you will need:
Edit: All parts are Spectre "PowerAdder"
1 of - 8708 - Air Intake Tube 4"

1 of - 8707 - Air Intake Vacuum/Sensor Adapter 3"

1 of - 8728 - Air Intake Tube 22 Deg. Elbow 3"

1 of - 8148 - Duct Mounting Plate

1 of - 8132 - Cone Air Filter Red

2 of - 8771 - Coupler/Reducer Combo

1 of - 8701 - Air Intake Mounting Bracket kit Universal

3 of - 8706 Air Intake Connection Collar 3"

1 of - piece of silicone tubing.

Here is how I did it. You may find other ways I am sure.

First - diassemble stock intake. Remove everything from the intake manifold all the way to the front including air box. Leave the bracket that holds airbox in place you will use it later to attach custom intake bracket to it.

Second - Attach 4" intake tube (8708) to intake manifold using Coupler/Reducer (8771)

Third - Air Intake Vacuum/Sensor Adapter (8707) to the 4" air intake tube (8708) using air intake connection collar (8706).

Fourth - Attach Air Intake Tube 22 Deg. Elbow (8728) to the Air Intake Vacuum/Sensor Adapter (8707) using air intake connection collar (8706)

Fifth - Attach attach Duct mounting plate (8148) to the MAF tube (flange side) using 2 screws diagonally. Then drill the other two holes and tighten it with the screws.

Sixth - Attach MAF tube (side without a flange) to the 22 degree elbow (8728) using Coupler/Reducer Combo (8771).

Seventh - attach Cone air filter red (8132) to the short rube on the end of duct mounting plate.

Eighth - unscrew one connection collar (8706) and put it on the maf tube right behind the flange part. Use Air Intake Mounting Bracket kit (8701) to attach it the the braket that used to hold airbox in place.

Nineth - connect vaccuum hose to the Air Intake Vacuum/Sensor Adapter (8707). Connect MAF sensor wire.

Start the car and enjoy.

that look sweet

*madmik* · 05-09-2006, 11:15 AM

Wow. Great job and

writeup.

*chernmax* · 05-09-2006, 04:22 PM

This should be added as a sticky under HOW Too...

FWIW for those that don't want to spend much but don't want the hassle of building it yourself, for about $20 more, you can get a Jim Wolf pop charger.

It looks similar to what you have came up with.

Nice job though!

What was the total cost?

Check engine come on?

Total cost came to around 90 bux and no check engine light.
I hooked everything up correctly and reset ecu afterwards.

Here is my budget intake. i already had the Stillen front part. i just got rid of the OEM part and built my own from Pep Bopys stuff.

*DeusExMaxima* · 05-14-2006, 12:44 AM

Ill insulate it now that i know it fits. I also wanna insulate the lower part of intake manifold

No, I'm just sure I didn't look...

I think replacing this piece provides better air flow. If you look through the stock piece that comes eight off the throttle nody, you see its VERY undulating. Now its nice and smooth, and smooth flowing air means more can be crammed in the engine.

I think insulating will quiet the intake down to some extent, another added benefit.
