Is there a "special" way to get the IAT off of the original air intake, I dont feel like cutting it out.
07-16-2010
Pull it out?
07-16-2010
It doesn't pull out. What I would do is just put a nice simple slit with a knife from the outer edge, to the inner edge and try and wiggle it out. That way the stock pipping is not completely destroyed.
07-16-2010
Uh mine just pulled out.
07-16-2010
oh.. I couldn't pull mine out, it was surrounded by the rubber from the intake lol
So I guess try pulling it out first then if that doesn't work do what I said.

Trust me,, I tried pulling it right out, wasn't going anywhere...Originally Posted by nawarkk
I'll try making a little slit in it. much appreciated

Done and Done...
Nice up-grade from my old intake.

Hook it up with a picture yo

Clean your filter^^^^ it looks a lil rough.
07-18-2010
haha I HAVE cleaned it...the results of a past life of a FWI,

this work as good and effective as a k&n or something would? is there much of a hp gain?
07-21-2010
this work on an 01 gp gt? and is it that much better then the stock intake?
07-22-2010
Does the stock airbox just come right out? Do you have to keep any of it in there?
07-22-2010
i'm not sure which year you've got, but if it's an 04+, it should just pop right up & out, but you'll need to open up the airbox & remove the pcm on the bottom before pulling the airbox out. i removed mine without disconnecting anything, put some rubber underneath & zip tied it down where the airbox used to sit. hope i don't have any problems with that...
anyway, my baby sounds a lot louder & feels better, but sometimes i hear some clicking or rattling from the engine while stepping on it... the filter isn't in contact with anything because i suspended it with a zip tie... any ideas what the noise could be?

Ya mine makes the same noise. But only when I just start going normal speed, until I get to like 25mph. I know their is supposed to be a suction sound but is there supposed to be a rattle too
07-27-2010
i read in another forum somewhere about a dude who now hears a "rattlesnake" sound in the engine after doing a mod like this, which is just like what i hear at lower rpm's. it usually goes away before i hit 2nd, sometimes 3rd, but i really only hear it when i jump on the gas. i can only hope that's what the open cone intake is supposed to sound like...
seems to make sense though, like the filter is gasping in air in shorter bursts which sound like a rattlesnake at first, which increases with the rpms & tapers off into a roaring suction sound when the airflow & rpms are higher... idk, never heard anything like it before i took the airbox out... i'm not sure about the rattle, but the rest of it sounds great
edit: i might have a bad seal... i twisted the cone a bit, which seemed to help some with the rattling, but it's not gone. i'm gonna need to add some silicone sealant between the base of the cone and the connecting flange.

You were right man. I went out and retightened everything up and now you can only hear suction. Musta came a lil loose after drivin it. THANKS A LOT. I LOVE THIS FORUM, its so helpful.

well, weirdly enough, it stopped bothering me after a while & i never got around to sealing it up like i was going to. the "rattlesnake" sounded kinda intimidating or something... so i left it alone.
but it started bothering me again today so i just popped the hood & made some adjustments. gonna go pick up a burger & test it out.
btw, although i never got to it myself, i'm glad i could help you with the idea!
&...
i believe you because i've heard elsewhere of that being a problem...... i would suggest removing & cleaning it, followed by replacing your intake with a dry one. search the forums about how to clean the MAF.
