ok thanks i wasnt sure if i could use that or not i wanted to get someones opinion or see if they suggested using that. i will take my laptop to the garage and install it then later tonight.

do you have to put the car on a jack stand?

[HMUSN]

no you don't.

I just installed my ebay intake around a half hour ago and it was pretty easy. In the mustang world write up, it suggested jacking the car up and moving some pump around but i found no need for that. I just wiggled under the car, took out one screw in the wheel well plastic, and fastened the filter on. The only trouble I had was connecting the 2 pipes while keeping one fastened to the carb. I suggest connecting both sides of the piping to were they should go and then bring them together in the middle. Good luck!

its on top of the engine bay pretty much...
just unclamp the old one off
remember where each sensor goes because you might have to fab some hoses to work

[gooberhead320]

does all four screws that came with it go on the maf sensor. the one with the metal screen. and is it alright if i leave everything unhooked over night because i cant stay awake the pain killers are kicking in and its relaxing everything. they are perscription drugs btw

[itschristorres8]

i'd cover the intake or throttle body....you dont really want a bug or something to get in there...or dew

Use the metal screen.. I did.. Make sure you get the filter on thier all the way. And yes you use 4 screws on the MAF.. My ebay cai came with 4 screws.. And left out 2 that i needed for the metal plate.. I found one screw that fit around the house.. But thats it. Also on your year and model i dont believe you use the Air temp sensor. Which is what the black rubber hole in the CAI is.. You need to plug that baby up with something.. If you dont use it.. So plan on using anything you have around.. I used a plastic cap and it fit perfect and plugged her right up.

how did you guys get the K&N filter on the piping?

[HMUSN]

just push it on.

it it's too tight use a little soapy water and the good old screw driver mod.

[gooberhead320]

ok cause the air filter that came with it is different and it has a rubber piece around the edge that holds it on and my stepdad said that i should try and take off the rubber piece and put in on the K&N one. but they are two different sized air filters. the blue one that came with it is shorter

Sorry to kinda jack your thread, but i just installed an intake and if i really wasnt able to put that metal screen in is that a bad thing?

nah.. it's fine.

you can leave it out. it won't hurt anything

[gooberhead320]

couldnt figure out a way to put my K&N filter on. the hole in the filter is too small for the piping so for now im using the one that it came with

[El_Cangri]

apply some heat and it will be easy to put on



just use a heat gun on the part that goes in the tube.. (not the entire filter)

[gooberhead320]

and that will shrink the tube? no the intake tube is like an inch thicker than the air filter hole so it wont work

[El_Cangri]

dude u know that K&n filters where they connect they have a hose like flexible material wich can expand or shrink...



is like a radiator hose u aplied some heat and expand it with ur hand and vuala it enter just fine

[itschristorres8]

are you tryin to put the K&N filter from your stock intake on your cold air

cause not a chance in hell it'll work

[gooberhead320]

yea thats what i was trying to do
