cool I saw this and went right to Pep-boys!! LOL should work fine!

 

oh... also i will do a few dyno pulls completly stock, and when the car is on the dyno im going to remove factory air-box and put the cone filter on... then a couple more pulls. Im sure the guys at PTuining need a basline run for a completly stock xD. Also this will confirm certain opinions on this mod. I personally think it will open up a good 4whp, maybe more.

 

any word on those dyno pulls? I installed the exact same filter and made a makeshift bracket too. Sounds really good and returned the little get up and go that we lost when we put the heavy 18" wheels on the D. ha ha

 

I can't believe I am asking this, but how do you remove the two bolts holding the bottom half of the air box? I broke one of my ratchets last night trying to undo them. Any suggestions?!

 

What size cone did you guys go with?

 

Just did this today to my Xd and so far I love it. Very easy install, took maybe 20 - 30 mins. or so tops. I used the Auto Zone/Spectra Performance filter as well (part number 8136) and it fit perfectly. The tone is deeper and mellow now, I really like it. We'll see if it makes any difference for milage. Attached a few pics of the install

 

thats EXACTLY what i did, but i went with the silver filter, heh.

 

wow its back.watch out for the spectre filters they rust up pretty quick i finally upgraded to a k&n and made it a cold air

 

I couldn't get a 3" coupler to work for the MAF - the 3.5" works fine. Did you have problems with the 3"?

 

Great job with this guys!
I got a Fujita 3 1/2" inlet filter, goes right on in place of the stock airbox and works great!
Also found a 1" nylon plug at Lowe's that fits perfectly in place of that goofy handle.

 

yeah i am def gonna do this soon. i found a pretty cool idea to replace my handle plug too. ill post pics tomorrow.

 

Hey, I've been wanting to know, what the heck IS that odd handle-looking thingy on the hose, anyway? Is it some sort of resonator to quiet the air flow sound, or maybe a trap to catch condensation from the input air, since it slopes downward?

 

idk what it is but i figured it was just a really lame plug. so i figured if there is gonna be a hole there might as well use it to get some sort of extra air flow.









sorry if the pics look off. my camera was droped and knocked the focus off.

 

that little filter is sucking in air after the MAF, therefore the MAF is not reading the correct amount of air thats acctually going into ur engine, this could be messing up ur AFRs and might even throw you a CEL

just plug it, its suppose to be some kind of intake resonator, to reduce sound

 

Geez clean that engine bay

Why put an air filter on a piece of the intake that isn't even sucking in air? Like chicotunner07 said, it could be messing things up in your car for doing that.

 

i dont think it is takin in enough air to hurt anything. the neck of it is smaller than the hole so i had to tighten it pretty good on there. if anything its just a spiffy plug that lets in a scoach more air.

 

I am about to do this and it was storming outside so I pulled into the garage and popped the hood and the top of the fact. air box is wet. I haven't drove at all today so if its wet on the air box just from sitting in the driveway how wet would the cone filter get if I was driving it? Would it get wet enough to hydro lock?

 

no, in order for an intake to suck up enough water to hydrolock, it would have to be completely submerged in water, wich a short ram never will be

youll be fine

 

Ok now time for my stupid question. How do you take the top of airbox off?

 

Never mind I got it.
