Difficulty of the install?

 

[myms3]

nice.. how is it?

 

[bertha]

pretty easy, hardest part is getting the clamp loose on the turbo side. After that a nice long flat head is a must on the install of the new inlet. (pic 11)
Seems nice, HKS seems louder now. Only driven like 5 miles so far.

[bertha]

so far so good. Just cleaned the airfilter, put about 100 miles on it now.

Maybe a stupid question, but in your opinion is removing the battery necessary to get this install done? I've got a CP-3 ordered and I'm just wondering. I'm sure it makes life a lot easier if you do remove it. Just wanted some input from someone who's already done an install.

 

[bertha]

Yes... Just remove it

If you do not remove the battery/box, it will be a PITA to take the stock one off and put the new one on.

Here is a video from RPMC. Try imagine the battery/box still there while doing the installation. PITA!!! :lol:

Hope you have small hands! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

the 3 clamps that came with the inlet are to be used on the inlet FYI. the one is used on the connection to the turbo and the other 2 are to hole the metal sleeves in the inlet. it looks like they are secure but you can move them in and out. like this on my speed6:

 

[bertha]

OH SNAP! Thanks for the heads up, I'll get that fixed tonight.

Do you think its worth the $$? I want my next mod to be bang for the buck without spending too much $$. I have been looking into a test pipe and maybe the TWM STS. Only reason I am considering the inlet is because I have heard it has helped get rid of knock issues, which I have been having.

Thoughts?

 

[elspeeddiablo]

This unit looks sweet!

This "might" make a difference. Getting a STS or pipe "will" make a difference. But this is something I will eventually get.

 

[PRBLU3MZR]

Shit, if this helps things "breath" better, I consider it a definite buy.
