thanks
-nick

 

Well, I wouldnt just throw them out in case you ever want to part out the car. I dont know exactly what the ratings on the tenzo would be.

 

by removeing those hoses'es will it affect the way my car idles?

 

Your new intake came with nylon hoses right? To replace the old ones? As long as all the new hoses are attached then you shouldn't have open ports.

 

I am getting my new short ram soon. I am not sure how to take the stock intake off? How many screws do I need to take off? If someone can show me a pic that will be great. I am a NOOB so please be nice.

 

Where are you getting your short ram from? It should come with directions which are very easy to follow. Also, what model/year is your car?

 

i got the intake today, everything was easy. had no problems thanks for the help

 

hey how often should i change fliters?

 

pictures would help too. Id invest in a better Air filter such as AEM or K&N, that way youd never have to change em.

 

i highly would recomend for you to get that (water)bypass thing (if you can divide your intake tube into 2. cause you can easily run water in to ur motor. but if not, ur better off w/ just a short ram intake.

In my opinion the difference b/w cold and short ram intake:

CAI = very little high end power gain (you can feel it), sounds awesome, but not worth it.
= extremely high chance of you running water into the motor and destroying it.

SAI = barely any gain (can feel a little difference) Sounds great (totally worth it if you want the sound)
= extremely little or no chance of destroying your motor.

so its up to you.

i ran water into my motor twice w/ CAI.

once rain started pounding very hard and right before i was about to pull over into a shelter to take it off, it hit a huge puddle

second time there was a fire hydrant(how ever its spelled) was broken and poured a s*** load of water on the street. (got me by big surprise)

ur motor will suck in water as soon you hit the puddle and it will shut off, but some how i got super lucky and my valves or rods didnt mess-up.
