i got my spectre air intake today.

for those who have it, how long of an install was it for yall?
was it tough? Anything i should know?

 

Pretty straight forward. If I recall, the instructions want you to remove the two "breather" hoses that come off drivers side of throttle-intake and curve around to rear in order to replace with new ones in kit. I learned that mine was a BI*%# to get off the lemon sized valve behind the throttle body. I think you can use the stock ones instead of the new ones anyhow - even with the molded curves in them. Your choice. Take care to route your cruise control cable to the rear of the filter heat shield BUT MAKE VERY SURE you put on the foam cover to the edge of said heat shield to avoid cutting the cable.

Enjoy.

 

It took me about a hour to install it, the hardest thing will be the Breather hoses but mine wasnt that bad to remove.Good Luck and post pics when you are done

 

all done! not hard at all.
any of yall see much mpg increase? will post pics soon

 

without the intake i was avg 16.0 with this last fill up i was 16.9 and that was hot rodding around a little after i got the intake. so with good driving i would suspect 1.5 mpg to maybe 2mpg difference well worth it in my opinion

 

Where are you guys getting the Spectre intakes at and how much are they?

 

Autozone 179.00 and usually in stock

 

I got mine at O'Riellys
16mpg? dang.
I am LUCKY to get 15mpg
I've changed fuel filter and run Lucas injection cleaner ever 4 or 5 fill ups.
not sure why i get so crappy milage. i really stay out of the gas too...

any ideas?

 

Your also 4x4 18inch wheels and bigger tires... that has alot to do with fuel mileage, im 2 wheel drive 17inch wheels and stock tires.

 

Alright thanks, next time I am in autozone i will have to look and maybe pick on up since you guys like them.

 

true true. I just filled up and added the new lucas fuel cleaning system so,
we will see what kind of mpg I get now

 

So how does she sound when she is wide open??

 

To be honest you really have to listen to hear it. I guess cause theres so much between me and the intake plus the exhaust REALLY drowns it out being as loud as it is.
But I must say, the power increase is very noticable

 

they are only $131 at jegs....
