is this like a joke?
or will this actually work, but just not as good as say the cosmo

Ttop191 · 04-13-2011, 09:49 PM

that'll work just fine, only recommendation is to throw out that shitty filter and buy a K&n cone filter, Piping is Piping...

spc2125 · 04-13-2011, 09:55 PM

but do you see on the ebay one its connected to the "big plastic thing"
where as the cosmo one hooks right up to the throttle

Ttop191 · 04-13-2011, 09:57 PM

yeah i don't remember on the eco's what that box is...I'm almost thinking a resonator to reduce intake noise...someone correct me if i'm wrong

Redog · 04-13-2011, 11:09 PM

If you don't want the black plastic box, then buy this intake on ebay, then look up "silcone 90* elbow"

for whatever size the piping is

spc2125 · 04-13-2011, 11:39 PM

im thinking the box is some type of silencer as well.
i see in the ebay one, the throttle vacuum hose? is connected to the "box" and so will i need to buy another type of hose because the stock one is short and idk whered id connect it to if i took the "box out

Ttop191 · 04-13-2011, 11:45 PM

dude O2 sensor is exhaust...the only sensor in the intake is the IAT sensor

kwhauck · 04-13-2011, 11:53 PM

lol he edited out that it said 02 sensor.....

spc2125 · 04-14-2011, 12:10 AM

yea sorry about that.
but still
when removing the "box" what will i do with the hoses that are connected to it..?

spc2125 · 04-14-2011, 12:13 AM

see how there are hoses coming off from this one.

i dont think ill be able to buy the ebay one and just buy an additional 90 degree elbow
am i right?

AZFire316 · 04-14-2011, 12:14 AM

there should be a spot somewhere on the new intake for the hoses to connect to.

not on the ebay one, because its only meant as piping. and its meant to still have the "box" that connects all the hose together

Ttop191 · 04-14-2011, 12:15 AM

just cut holes in the 90, shove the hoses in and silicone the hell out of it

Greencoupe2.2 · 04-14-2011, 12:19 AM

why not just get the cosmo rather than going through all that trouble. plus the cosmo looks like it has a less restricted bend.

AZFire316 · 04-14-2011, 12:24 AM

if youre planning to go S/C I wouldnt waste money on this anyways.

spc2125 · 04-14-2011, 12:33 AM

i think im going to go turbo

AZFire316 · 04-14-2011, 12:38 AM

good choice, but still, this would be a waste of money, if that is your goal, save the money.

just curious, do you say waste of money?

AZFire316 · 04-14-2011, 12:46 AM

because the part would be removed when the turbo goes on, not used anymore.

JLw7123 · 04-14-2011, 12:52 AM

also u need to save money for the supporting mods. So the engine can hold up when your turbo the car.
