Intake Question.

[DiggerDill]

Whats the difference if i just put a funnel on the end of the stock piping than putting it on the piping it comes with?

[Galantman03]

it does the job, and saves money. some members have done that here, can't remember off the top of my head who though

[DiggerDill]

So your saying that there is not really a difference?

[Galantman03]

a difference between the two? yes there might be between the two, I went from stock intake to a AEM cai. I noticed that anafter market one it louder at WOT and has a deeper exhaust tone. But if you just want to keep the stock upper black peice, and put a filter on it, there are adapters that attach to the maf sensor. It will make a differance compared to all the extra water crap and ram air peice.

Ok thanks for your help

[DiggerDill]

What would be better for the car tho?

[Galantman03]

either or really, it all comes down to how much your willing to spend, but if I had to do it again, knowing what I know now, I would just get an adapter plate and filter, and use the stock upper pipe that attaches to the throttle body.

The stock upper pipe works fine, done it for 2 years that way., however it has the ribbed flex part in the middle and the filter would rattle against the bay and I could hear it when stopped, I just stuck some foam to the body and it silenced the rattling.

got a good deal on a used injen intake (using as a short ram, havent tried the cai pipe) and I like it better cuz its a bit louder and mounts against the block so it doesnt rattle, plus its a sparkly blue.

a funnel?

[Armageddon Sunset]

well a gas funnel, that would let through more air than an oil funnel....better yet a flour sieve would let the most air through while stopping most debris from entering the TB

You're going to get better flow through a smooth aftermarket intake pipe rather than the stock plastic piping since it's corrugated/ribbed and the air can't slip by as easily.

since this thread was made can someone tell me the size of the vacuum tube on a after market intake

^ Any decent aftermarket air intake should be the same size as stock.
