can u take the ribs out?

 

Im pretty sure its not the vents. Unless you mean vents by the pedals. I thought maybe it was coming from the boot. Since it is a little loose(thats where I run my power wire for the amp).

 

can u take the ribs out so u get more flow?

 

yeah thats what CAI do.. if you see them they are always smooth either metal or plastic. i think even one of the cheap kits on ebay would do better than stock but it might make you run lean..

 

well i no that is what cai's do... but can you take the ones out of the stock one?? and i seen a cheap one from ebay... looked like it was pretty chincey... and it was only 66 bux... ever heard the xpresion... u get what u pay for? lol

 

^^^^^^^^^

 

???

 

nope never heard of them, personally id save the money and get a K&N or AF1 (i think thats the other good brand) or Airraid.

and to get the ribs out of the stock air tubing means replacing them... go take a look at it if you can get them out then let me know!

and no and ironing them wont help!

what???

well i drive 5 miles of gravel every day... but i dont follow vehicles close on the gravel road... i stay back enough to not be eating there dust... would a k&n be a bad thing since i drive about five miles of gravel everyday?

 

You will probably see the same gains from the ebay intake, but when the temps go back up you will feel the heat soak more due to the quality of the materials.

 

Now I have been told the exact same thing about the K&N, but I've read poat on this site that if you get 0171 & 0174 codes when the service engine light comes on, to remove the K&N due to excessive oil getting on the MAF sensor and causing the problem. Seems to be a catch 22. Guess if you go the with the K&N, be careful of the amount oil you put on it & clean the MAF sensor when you service the filter.

 

ive never had this happen. i let me filter dry overnight inside before putting it back on. and i get those codes everytime there is a drastic temp change outside. for my truck, something with the pcv valve is playing havek on my CEL...

 

Ive never had a problem with my oiled filters.

 

x2 ive had them on my last 3 vehicles!

 

ok since i drive 5 miles of gravel... will i have to clean it like every other day? and what does the cleaning consist of??? i mean u dont have to clean it with the kit everytime do you??? that would get kinda expensive... anyway... couldent you just flush it out with water... and only have to use the kit like once a year?
