Installed CS SRI & Tip

[achoman01]

I remember when installing an intake was easy. This thing was really a pain to install. Specifically the TIP. So much crap is in the way, and God forbid you have big hands!

Installation aside, this thing is loud! I mean like a vacuum cleaner under my hood. I havent pushed the car yet, but the car does feel like its breathing easier. I am happy with the SRI. I wonder if it is substantially loud on the highway....

Since its so loud, as a good citizen, I recommend you remove it and send it to me to save your hearing. I am only looking out for your best interests!!

LUCKY!!

Sure, send me your address and it should be there soon.... lol

I dont care how loud it is, it was such a pain to install, that I will take the sound. Which i am sure will grow on me, and am glad to here that its not so bad on the highway. Which makes sense because I only really hear it when the turbo starts spooling.

I installed mine today to. I love the sound of it. You can really here the BPV and turbo spooooooling now. But I also agree, the TIP was a pain in the ass. All those god dam wires that were in the way.

you will deff grow on the noise ( turbo spooling and bpv ) . It doesnt sound that loud anyways .

i'm hoping my intake will be loud enough for that noise. i'm just cutting the MAF housing out of an airbox, using a small pipe then a cone.

are you making a custom intake? If you are, i think you should look into a straightener. All the aftermarket intakes come with an air straightener. You might run into CEL. What are you planning?

Yes i am and i'm planning to do what i wrote above. cutting the MAF housing out of a stock airbox, running a coupler to a small 3in pipe then a cone filter. The MAF is still going to be in the same position and housing it was originally just instead of a box there will be a short pipe with a cone, so with that in mind i figured that it should still read the same just with a better breathing intake.

Sounds interesting. Can you post up some pics when you working on it?
