Bought my intake
 
I just ordered my intake and im wondering which filter would you recomend for me to use. I'll check pipe diameter when it comes to my house.

well I have been told the Apex filter is the best but its going to cost ya a little bit more. Plus it is a dry filter so you will not have to buy the recharge kit when you want to clean it. So really in the long run it is the best cause it can be cleaned with water and reused many many times....

^^^^^^^ yup the Apex'i filter is your best bet but its about 80 bucks but well worth it, no oil to screw up your sensors and it actually filters crap out of the air.

I got the intake installed today and im loving it! best 35 dollars ive spent in a long long time :evilgrin:

It sounds soooo mean its great

import_tuner19 May-14th-2005 06:22 PM

yeah, i have one too my friend says it sounds like a pissed off growl coming from the left front fender

I got this exact one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...974393281&rd=1 It came fast and was packaged very nicely and the sound is great

Looks sweet, thanks for the link, but I realized if I should even get one if I plan on WOMPing it, but if that may take a while, I might go ahead and spend the $35 because it may take a while to save for the WOMP....

KagyMP5 May-15th-2005 11:14 AM

thats what im planning on doing since i got 1 1/2 till warentey(sp) but i might go the turbo route

import_tuner19 May-15th-2005 01:25 PM

yeah i bought the XOXO sports CAI its a direct copy of the injen and im saving to WOMP my car cause its an auto.

Resetting the computer
 
I am going to install a cai I bought tomorrow. After I install it do I need to reset the computer(i.e. disconnect the battery?)

No, there should not be any reason to. The air coming through the MAF is still just air coming through the MAF, so...
