Thread: UPDATE Finally installed Spectre filter

Got a pcv coupler and a pipe and hooked them together to fit the MAF and the pipe thing came with a small third hole and a little u bend pipe to connect the stupid hose for the stupid cali emissions and connected the other side to the filter. Now the filter touches a little part of the roof and is at the back behind the headlight that has a hole there. We used zip tie to hold it still and up on the bar there and zip tied the pcm down too. It now makes a rumble noise now that sounds cool like a muscle car sound, is that good and how does it make that?





The zip tie there that is clamping the maf to the pipe there is gone and we put acutal clamps there since it came off when we moved it a little when we came back from driving. So now it should be stuck on good (we use the same clamp thats clamping the filter there the silver one).

Thanks bro, Ya at first when we rev it its loud, but when we went on the road and put in about half throttle dang that thing make a loud rumble kinda noise. Hey is that noise good, it sounds kinda like a muscle car and what causes that sound now? ill take a pic of it with the clamps on there and post it later

Ya same here, hey i forgot to ask a most important question on my other thread, is this thing safe? lol i think it is and ya it gives a great roar and its from the engine and not from the muffler like with those rice rockets.

Nice, i did the same to mine but i zip tied the pcm to the base of where the box used to be. It feels like and sounds like the engine has new life again. if only i found this forum years ago my bro and would have done this long time ago. This forum is AWESOME

Everyone i guess, lol ya it did for me too. I would have spent $300+ for the K&N CAI or would have ever got anything at all. now that the spectre intake is down later we will work on putting split fogs replacing the big turn signals. For now that intake is SICK, and great first engine mod.

So with you removing the air box and just sticking a cone on there, the sucking sound as well as motor noise can now be heard.

Wow so in a way the box was like strangling the car and keep it like on mute, and now it can breath better and roar all it wants. Thanks for clearing that up bro.

Anyone know if it is ok where it is or should we try to make a heat deflector?

EDIT: the rumble/roaring/loud noise, is good?

Mines a Base 07 gp BASE, if you have one you should get one its really good.

Some one said that there could be a code showing up because of a sensor because our car is a 07, and that we should unplug the neg or pos of the battery for like 10 mins to reset it. are we suppose to do that? the check engine light has been on for a while now for some stupid secondary air flow detected is incorrect flow or something. do we have to do anything or is it ok?
