I got mine from Ebay
Looks just like the Injen.
How do you make it quit hunting at idle part of the time.
Ocassionally when I take off froma light it falls flat on its face because it wnats to idle at 200
You punch it and it takes a second.
When it is right it is fine.
I have reset the ECU and base idle, NO CHANGE.
I do not have any air leaks.
Help

that is the EXACT SAME intake I have. I'm very happy with it. I would recommend though spending the extra $10 and just buying the CAI. I think I may do it as well and powdercoat this intake and sell it.

I just don't see another one on eBay that goes to my car unless I'm mistaken and an 02 will also fit. Remember that I have the non-MP3. So, if you have a recommendation, I would appreciate it. I would like to get this thing and install it ASAP. Funny thing that the $28 intake takes $17 to ship, so the price is about the same as the higher priced ones anyway....highway robbery for shipping.
On another note, I saw this guy's web page and it's very interesting, the solution he's come up with (LOL)...but anyway, the pictures are excellent in knowing the whole set-up. My internals look exactly like his. Here's his web page.

I'm pretty sure the one for the 02 will fit. I've had the opportunity to tinker w/ my friend's 01 MP3, and its almost the exact same as my 03 LX under the hood (he has an engine cover, no other differences I can recall).

WELL I have decided to spend the extra money and go for the Injen Intake. I have seen and spoke to other MP5 owners and feel that the Injen is the best solution. The intake does make a differance if it is placed out of the engine bay. If you find one that has the same type as the Injen then go for it!

I personally went for the AEM, not so much for the performance, but more for the CARB sticker since the part of town I lived in sucked in terms of being pulled over for "reports of street racing...pop your hood.." ..
for CAI at the ghetto 1/8 track on Friday night, I built my own Home Depot special.Whole thing costed about 25 bucks and took about an hour and a half...just some heat resistant pvc-ish material, a 2-3 inch connector with a coupler on the throttle body, and 2 u-bends. I basically copied the Injen design, and ran it out of the little fender hole, and attached some crap STP paper filter with another connector. I did drill holes for the sensors too, and used the rubber plugs to connect them.
It was ghetto, and cheap, , but for the track I felt an amazing throttle response over the AEM and convinced myself I felt more torque. But I did get the idea from a bunch of my friends who are really into pre-runner rangers and made their own intakes.

Pardon my ignorance but do intakes really improve gas mileage in a noticable way? Roddimus have you seen any mileage benefits with the Ebay SRI? Does mileage improve with CAI rather than an SRI? Anyone use the HKS mushroom filter?
Thanks
Thanks
