buy a different filter?
How much too big for the filter? The neck of the filter can be stretched a bit to fit. They're supposed to fit snugly. If it's very close, but not quite than you should probably try to use a bit of force. Otherwise, just buy a new filter. If you get anything but a K&N they're pretty cheap.
That's the dude! I pulled out the receipt from the money order I sent him! But Sweetooth, did you ever receive a filter from him? I didn't! Can you tell me how you set yours up and how a Civic intake & filter comes in the picture?Quote:

The filter you see in the first pic is the not the filter that came with the kit.
Somebody help me!!!
Speaking of the GB on the short ram intakes, When I got mine the rubber connectors were far too small. Does anyone know where I can get some that will actually fit? As it stands, the pretty, polished intake pipe is sitting on top of the pile of other uninstalled parts under my desk at home. I'd really like to put it on at some point...
heh i got 2 filters from mistu4u...was not his fault, arospeed is stupid.
but the second one they sent me fit perfectly
Oh yeah, go to the home depot plumbing section to get some rubber fittings.
Click on my sig to see my cai setup
if you want some quality, contact phil from injen. he'll hook u up with the part numbers for the injen fittings. they're better than those rubber fittings u can get @ the hardware store. once u get the part numbers go to your injen dealer and order it there. its not too expensiveQuote:

FYI, you can order the rubber fittings (reducers) from WeaponR at www.importstudio.com also. They are quality silicon reducers, they have 4 different sizes and they have 5 different colors to choose from. That's where I got mine from for my CAI rebuild.
You can order them outright, instead of going through someguy then have NOPI order then wait for the order then pick them up etc...
Just some Geee Wizzz info :wink:
OK, so I did some measuring and here's what I found. The diameter opening of the MAS adapter is 4.5" wide. The diameter of the new filter I brought is 3.5" wide. And the diameter of the tube I got is also 3.5". I basically want to set it up the way seth has it. So my question is to seth, where did you get another tube to attach the filter to and what size fittings did you use to fit the tube to both ends of the MAS and the adapter? I've had this thing for months and would like to finally install it. Any help would be appreciated!!!
Ok, I looked on the link you posted, but I didn't see the fittings listed. I'm probably just an idiot, but could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.
injen has it under silicon str8 hose. import studio has it under acessories and then hoses and fittingsQuote:

Also I'm too lazy to walk down the street to look at my car and take measurements right now.
u can always email phil and ask him what they use for the turbo eclipse. if i recall correctly, the back of the turbo eclipes MAS is just like urs so you can ask him what size fitting they used for thatQuote:

BigLou,
The tube for the CAI is typically a Civic ram intake... I used an RSX CAI for my entire setup. I like mine. The adapter is a plumber reducer bought from the Home Depot for $6.
I put these pics up for you guys for a closer look if ya need it, here's the LINK Sorry the ride is so dirty, it's been raining and muddy past few days :?
I hope I did it right...
2True, the tube you said you used for the CAI that's from a Civic ram intake, is that the short tube that you're talking about that goes from the intake to the MAS? If it is, I have that already. The tube I'm asking you about is the long one that connects to the filter. I checked eBay for Civic intakes, and those tubes looked too short for that part. I need that long tube to complete the assembly. Where can I find it?Quote:

Ya bro, like this here:

Go to Home Depot and get yourself a big ol' reducer and you'r set. You might need something to plug up the inlet on the civic pipe but oh well. I like mine because it there are no holes in the tube and there is a mounting thingy :wink:
