intake help

I just bought a cold air intake and it came with no instructions, and im not too much of a whiz with this stuff so could anyone tell me generally how to do it.

...oooo u bought one of those! my first suggestion is to take it to a shop, chances are if it doens't have instructions it might not even fit right and a shop is going to have the tools/additional parts to make it fit, my local shop installs the AEM for 25$

where did you get it from....and what is the name brand of the intake?

Its a CP intake and i got it off ebay.

You got ripped, sorry. The whole thing looks to be poor quality. I suggest you try and return it and get either an Injen or AEM intake. And unless the picture that I see is merely a generic one, the "intake" does not come with a MAF adapter. Your car will not run properly without a MAF. Can you take a picture of it and email it to me at [email protected]?

Quality costs money plain and simple and horsepower costs money. A generic ebay intake is not quality by any means and will not net you the gains that a intake by Injen or AEM does. Those companies put lots of money into R&D to make a quality product with dyno proven results. Those other "companies" on Ebay do not, but merely copy their design but use inferior metals and connectors.

I'd have to agree w/johnny on this one. I bought one off of ebay and it never even came close to fitting. After installing it, later on that night, my SES light came on. Next day, I threw it away, ordered me an Injen CAI. Within the next two days, my intake came, installed it. Never been happier.

why do people insist on putting cheap ass stuff on their car?

well if their mind is thinking like mine....ebay = less money....i learned my lesson...never again

I think that Intake is the one that comes with the Manufacturer Sticker Decal that reads "EBAY POORformass" :loser: :rofl:

finally...a newbie who has his head on straight. hey, i wonder if i can get one of those stickers

do you think the sticker will add more hp to?..lol

hopefully it will give me 20-30 hp so i dont have to buy headers

well i took your advice and went out and bought an aem short ram intake for 130....should be comin soon
