will this work as a Short Ram INtake

[D_roc]

this is what i got so far the MAF adapter is on its way ans as soon as i get it all i have to do is slap it in but will this work yes there is just enough room for it and the hole is for the what ever sensor that is in the front of the factory intake

[jltibbs]

That plus the MAF adapter should be fine. I believe that is the setup that tigersharkdude is running, just with Weapon R instead of Spectre.

thanks man by the way is the brand i'm using any good coz thats all autozone had, and i live in Mass so when i'm going for the inspection will i have to put on the stock intake

[tigersharkdude]

no, i have a real cai, goes down in the fender

[jltibbs]

Brad, stop fakin' tha funk! before you added that extra pipe you only had a short ram, right???

[snwbrdr435]

Nope you will not have to put on your stock airbox unless it is throwing a code you should be all set.

[allensteiner]

it'll work fine and spectre is a good company. one thing guys...stop calling these things "RAM" because no air is rammed into the intake - need a scoop for that or our stock setup is a ram air intake...thx

I hope you dont know somthing I dont know cuz my stock air box is long gone and now I'm worried about my inspection. Is there any truth to this...no codes caused by the intake.

[jltibbs]

What brand of intake do you have and is it C.A.R.B. exempt?

[D_roc]

idk man my dad said they they won't do inspection if i have it and we own all the Mobil gas stations around this area and do inspections on all of them

I've got an injen intake. But what is C.A.R.B exempt?

idk man my dad said they they won't do inspection if i have it and we own all the Mobil gas stations around this area and do inspections on all of them

Did he say why they won't inspect? Now I'm getting worried...Why did I trash the factory air box

[tigersharkdude]

CARB is some california GARBAGE

[D_roc]

no he didn't but i'm going to the bay on friday need to use the lift and i'll ask the guy doing the inspection all the info about it

[D_roc]

also i'm going to make a custom scoop for it coz i can't fine one any where so which is better i have some fatmat left should i cover it with that or some sort of high tem or heat resistant paine

[D_roc]

also another stupid question is it ok to setup the intake like this or does the intake temp sensor have to be the first?

[allensteiner]

i'd put an extension before the filter and maf - the thin wire inside is pretty fragile - and put the iat there, the vacuum lines past the maf.

[D_roc]

finally did it, love the sound tho before my was is mad quiet but now got a little beefed up sound not much of a difference, also feel like the car got a little more power, over all not much of a difference other than the engine bay look cooler

[allensteiner]

looks good, man

[watissssit]

ive alwase heard from another maxima fourm that the stock box was the best for low wend power did you notice a drop in the low end?

[nj1sh]

I bought a short ramp intake on ebay and there seems to be no place to install the intake temp sensors and there are 4 little pipes instead of 3.. wtf?

[nj1sh]

this is the sh*t i got http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...56777

[D_roc]

well get those rubber gourments (how ever you spell it) from home depot and drill a hole for the temp sensor, and as for the extra pipe sticking out you can get a cover for that they are like $2 online
