aFe intake with scoop installed

Install was pretty self explanitory. Waiting for the block to cool all the way down before connecting battery and a test drive.

 

worth the time and $$? looks great

 

That's a neat design.

Let us know if there's any identifiable performance or sound improvement

 

link?

 

Why did you disconnect the battery?

 

pretty sure because of the MAF sensor being disconnected and reconnected.

 

Because instructions tell you to do that for every repair even when it's not necessary

 

Ha! Who's reads instructions when installing a intake.... ppppffff, I don't even remember instructions in my aFe box.

OP did you feel that the rubber coupling for the box and the scoop was a little under size? Could have been about 1" wider IMO... felt like I was threading the needle on trying to get it to stay on both inlets... other than that install was a breeze.

 

My guess would be the op did if he disconnected the battery.Im a mechanic and only disconnect the battery when replacing an alternator or starter.

 

Is this intake California legal?

 

It is not. The following was taken from the product page on aFe's website. "Note: This intake system is not CARB exempt at this time and is not legal for sale in California or use on vehicles registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles."

 

Throttle response improved. Quiet when cruising, it lets you know its there with a deep growl when you stand on the throttle

 

Let us know if it's doing anything to gas mileage after a couple fill ups

 

That's encouraging.

I've yet to see a purchase link. Is this not on the market yet?

 

same here, didn't get the scoop but have the same CAI...love it.

 

You may want to run a pre-filter with the scoop to avoid water getting on it. Just my .02

 

Haha California blows donkey balls.....what a terrible place

 

It is available.

Ahh.. Thanks.

Gdamn that's expensive.

I've bought plenty of CAI systems for cars in the past. This one takes the award for highest price by a fair margin.

 

You're welcome! I am thinking the same thing. Shipping is free, but even so, it is a large chunk of change.
