You really should take John Piparo's car out of your Avatar if you don't have permission from him to use it since his car is a sponsored vehcile.

ok...i have it installed and it fits good. im just having a problem w/ the air sensor. it wont fit in the rubber inlet. is there a trick to gettin the sensor in the rubber inlet or do u just have to buy a new sensor? thx

Hmm if the one u have now doesnt fit, then a new one probley wouldnt either. What kind is it and wherd u get it from?

[DeadBlade89]

the cold air intake is vibrant performance. the sensor is stock. i ordered the intake online. i think i ordered it from the parts bin (never ordering from there again, way too many problems w/ shipping and other little things). but its the real Vibrant Performance cold air intake and it fits like a charm but cant get the sensor in. i tried shaving the rubber inlet and i even tried some lubricant.

on mine it was like fitting a softball through a garden hose, i had to use this really good lubricant for about 20 minutes, then i went outside to work on the car, just kidding, but seriously, it was a bitch and a half, have you tried using a lubricant of any kind??

[DeadBlade89]

i used this one kind of lub but i forget wut its called. its in my garage but its almost 9 o'clock and i dont wanna walk outside. lol. wut kind of lub did u use on yours?

KY allll the way baby.

[MrR0b0t0]

haha dammm, really that hard to get in? My aem one went in with no problem.

[jakegday]

i dont remmeber what the stuff i used was, maybe try motor oil, if nothing else, you could wrap electrical tape around it and just kinda shove it in there, if you get desparate enough to do that be sure to do a damn good job

[DeadBlade89]

lol. man this sux, maybe i shoulda spent the extra money on an AEM. if i woulda known id be having so many problems, i would have.

You did take the iat sensor out of the rubber grommit stick the rubber grommit into the hole and then stick the sensor ack into the grommit?

[DeadBlade89]

ya...already tried it and no luck.
