subydrift Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I got my intake pipe yesterday. It's an OBX CAI pipe. They are on Ebay cause they have an overstock of the pipes so it was 35 bucks but has ALL of the necessary ports which is what sold me. I need to trim it to fit for my hybrid setup but it has 3 PCV ports and one bigger port for the IAC. I need to clean the inside around the ports out as there is some weld slag in there but other wise it looks great! I'm excited to get it in!!! I've got a K&N panel filter in the mail and a new catch can to put it with it. *If anyone wants to convert their SRI to a CAI I am gonna get rid of the CAI section for dirt cheap!

0Tyrael0 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yeah you could use the ebay intake then use one of the silicone pipes to accommodate a larger filter at the end. You could also use it to connect the metal to the throttle body. Hmmm I might order one just for an experiment lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subydrift Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Ya might as well for how cheap they are and them having all the right fittings. Usually the generic ebay intake pipes have 3 small ports that you have to adapt for each line but the ports on this OBX pipe are all the bigger size and the IAC port is like 5/8" instead of a 1/4" vacuum port. I'm gonna run this pipe into my stock air box with a K&N panel filter and keep the snorkus in the fender to prevent MAF voltage spike, but I'm going to mod the section of the snorkus that returns into the engine bay so it is only pulling air from the fender.

0Tyrael0 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yeah thats a pretty good way. Most of the ones I have seen only have two adapters so its good you found one with three. Make sure you give the Idle bypass line a big enough connector or it will run like $hit. I havnt had any problems with mine at all yet. After driving a few weeks it is apparent that its had a significant power increase above 3.5K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David E Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So got the eBay intake late yesterday afternoon. Will local auto parts stores have the "rubber" connectors to make a hybrid intake? Gonna keep my air filter box in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worknlikeadog Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 NAPA, AUTOZONE, ADVANCED AUTO, AND O'REILLY all have silicone connectors for intake systems. JUST MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE SIZE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subydrift Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I got my connectors from Lowes. They are just regular rubber 2" couplers that you stretch over the TB and intake pipe. I used a 2" to 3" adapter coupler for the pipe to MAF though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the assistance. also, can you show links for the vacumn hose pieces? Im not quite sure what I need to look for exactly. Im assuming you mean the connectors for the vacuum hose. I updated the post with pictures of the connectors. Thanks for your help in this post. Glad to see someone else is going to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subydrift Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I went to Lowes to try and find some connectors for all my lines and found brass 1/2" and 3/4" elbows for like $1.xx each and a 1" to 3/4" adapter for the IAC which was also less then $2. I'll get some pics this weekend of how my lines are run and of the adapters/elbows. But I would try Lowes first as they do stock the parts you need so you'll save on shipping.

98LGTLover Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Nice vid! How about a 0-60 vid? I've always wanted to see one for the 5 speed, I know I have one but still I'm not that great at driving it yet so I won't be making one for a while lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 It does sound beastlly. You should hear it in person. Its much more organic. Its not invasive either. If you want you can drive it and barely hear it. Lol I might do a 0-60 when I get a wrx motor in it This car will be my next project after my other car is done.

kaz98gt Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 That was much quieter than I expected. If I get anywhere between 50%-100% throttle, you can definitely tell it's not stock. Maybe I'll have to look at it again, but I've been told by alot of people that my car is loud when I get on the gas heavy...I'll evaluate it carefully tomorrow. AHH GLAD TO BE HOME.

0Tyrael0 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah its super loud in the cabin. My cusin is not into cars at all and as soon as he got in he was like "why is your car loud". Im going to make a new video with someone helping me and it will probably be louder because there wont be as much vibrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just checked it out, it's only loud when you get on the throttle hard. Everytime else it's just part of the symphony; our cars are loud in the cabin anyway haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
