has anyone else done this mod then had it throw the code 23( air intake temp sender may be bad) I did it and a little after it threw the code any ideas?

 

Got mine almost finished... Had to go this route to make room for my OBA compressor.









Parts list:
* 3"x18" exhaust tube
* 0.625"x 3" tube
* Spectre 3"x30" flexible intake tube
* K&N RU-5111 filter
* (4) 4" hose clamps

 

where's the filter?

 

X2. I was thinking inside the tube, like the Spectre kits, but thats a 4.5" filter you list. and a 3" tube....pls tell me theres a filter somewhere!

 

I'm thinking about doing this mod myself, but I have a quick question. Have any of you found a gain/loss in mpg? Veering away from the factory set up and only drawing cold air I am wondering if you get less mpg. thanks!

 

if anything you would get better MPGs with a colder air charge. As long as the intake tube you use is of sufficient size you will not see a decrease in MPGs.

 

You guys crack me up. It's in the cowl... I didn't snap any pictures after I installed it.

The RU-5111 isn't a 4.5" filter, it's a 3". However, it is 4.5" at the base and 3.5" at the top - OUTSIDE DIAMETERS

 

Just curious, how warm does that exhaust tubing get above the valve cover?

 

I'm going to go with "not as hot as over the exhaust manifold"

 

Well I've been driving around for s few days after I took off the cowl intake and I'm getting 18 mpg average. When I had the cowl intake connected I was getting 10-13 mpg. I'm still very confused, can someone help?

 

Did you reset the ecu? That might help some.

 

Best part is mine sounds like Darth Vader!

 

PHEW! lol. yeah i was referring to the filters LARGEST O.D. which would be the limiting factor to you having installed it INSIDE the 3" tube.

 

I have been getting between 15-17mpg city, running 33's. With the cowl.

This is a great mod. Little video of today testing out the cowl snorkel. Not a single drop of water in the airbox. Ran smooth as silk. Its not very deep but it does reach 36" in a few spots.

With the cowl snorkel I don't worry about drowning out anymore.

 

Nice.
