Intake DIY

[Ryan190]

So the other day, Nic and I did a Takeda Short Ram Intake on his Accord HFP. This took a whole 30 minutes and the tools needed were a 10mm socket wrench, 10mm box end wrench, allen keys, sidecutters, and a flat head screw driver.

We started with the stock box and disconnected the MAF and unscrewed the top off the panel filter.



I then used my fingers to open this clamp and remove this vacuum tube.


Top off panel filter exposed


Maf out, DO NOT GET THIS DIRTY!!!


The battery needed to come out to access the 10mm bold holding the bottom of the panel filter box in.


Intake slid on the throttle body and the heat and mounting shield was bolted to the intake and used the same mount as the old filter box


I cut some hose for the metal vacuum line to be adapted to the intake as you can see on the intake tube, maf went back in using the stock bolts and TADAAA done..




This applies to all cold air and short ram installations on any vehicle basically.... They are easy to do. Cold airs sometimes require cutting but if your wasting money on a cold air then you need to have you head checked.... Easy job!!

Easy peasy install. Sounds SICK might I add.

I remember doing a SRI on my Elantra, they tend to sound pretty nice, can't wait to check it out.

OR if you're like Ryan, he went custom on his STI.

K&N: *NOTE* You'll want to buy a different filter than the oiled K&N because their filters are GARBAGE.

speaking of access port, you were saying you can get it cheaper than what I was gonna pay through rally sport direct, what price are we talking for it?

[Nic190Motorsports]

They won't give me a deal because it's not for my car. So it'll be $600

[fadetoblack1985]

eff's sakes....so much money for one little thing, sigh.
