i will here in a little bit.im cutting it down 2 inches as we speak. to give it clearance from the hood.
im gonna do it here in a few i got to go to a few places anyways so ill do it then.only things i SUGGEST doing is cut the tube about 2 INCHES to give it clearance from the hood.i did this and the intake stands as high as the plastic ram air thing.also,i would cut a slit in th rubber that is on the filter so itll fit on a little better.last but not least,where the filter goes youll see how it flared out (for the CAI) i would cut at least half of that of as well.this will give you clearance as well for the filter so its not hitting on anything or any tubes.i plan on doing that but not sure.i think it looks good enough just cutting a slit(all the way through)on the rubber surround on the filter.OR get a smaller filter.but i llike how it sits.im gonna take more pics of it when i get back with a video.
the part of the tubing closest to the Throttle body.itll help lower the intake tube enough to give you enough clearance from the hood.because before i cut the tube,it as sitting about 1-2 inches higher than the ram air and i could see some scuff marks on the rubber tube coming off the intake to the motor.so i knew it was hitting the hood.
oh alrite...thanks! so its a perfect fit for our lancers? is it cheaper at all than the one that RRM is selling?
here are some new pics after the cutting and here are the vids i was going uphill in the top and middle one
hoped you all liked the pics and vids.good luck to whoever is doing the same .im prretty sure this intake gives the same effect as all the others
Looks real good bro now I'm really tempted to get one of these instead of the injen one and a heck of a lot cheaper.
that was my cell phone,lol.i was like dangit it distracted me from the video making and bout hit a curb and miss a shift
mine should be comming in tomarro!! I CANT WAIT haha...so how much did you end up cutting off? and what did you use to cut it? cuz i have basically the exact same kit, just a diff color filter
i used a hack saw,and put it on a vise to hold it.you can also use a sawzall.itll give it a cleaner cut,then just use some sandpaper or whatever with a rough edge to take off any necessary shavings.make sure you measure 2 inches cuz thats how much i cut. good luck man
