just installed the nawarkk air intake system. i used a 3inch coupler i found in the plumbing section instead of the one nawarkk used. it was about 1/4 thick rubber. fought for a half hour trying to strtch it over the throttle body. kept hearing a voice saying "use your man arms ! " . tried lubing it with vasoline and still couldn't get it. just as i was about to give up and go look for a larger diameter coupling , i loosened the clamp up a little more and it slid right on .....guess sometimes using your brain trumps using man arms.
the coupler was 4 inches long and made a perfect spot to drill a half inch hole to snug the IAT sensor in.
anywho , after i tightened everything up and getting psyched expecting some changes in sound and/or performance , i started the car . i heard nothing. nothing different anyway. there was no big suction noise or anything different that i could here.took her for about 8 mile trip , mashing the throttle often. i did notice the whine was a bit louder than it was at WOT, but not a big difference. i think the throttle response was a little better but i did put new iridium plugs , wires and a new O2 sensor in yesterday as well.
my next step is to knock the dino oil out and put a new K&N Oil filter and some mobile 1 synthetic in it.
