hey whats up guys. i just bought an Injen CAI. and i know its an easy bolt-on mod, but in what direction do i put the filter? cuz there's the big metal pipe with the logo, attatched to the intake plenum. then there's this big rubber peice that is elbow shaped. do i put the filter to the direction as if i had an intercooler? (facing that direction). or do i angle it towards my left wheel on the driver side. this is probably a horrible description so if u guys need pics, let me know.

i just wanna know everything before i do it cuz no one wants to do it for me cuz its 10 degrees over here hah.

EDIT: i asked the guy at ultimate Z if this was a good intake. at first i asked him about the typhoon and he said hes actually seen loss of hp on a dyno. he says this is prolly the most popular and overall out.

anyone agree? is my car gonna be more laggy? i just took his word for it cuz he's been workin with the Z for many years he says. also owns a few. just let me know on ur guy's opinions

 

Which way to put the filter? The filter can only be attached one way.

 

no, u can turn it to as if u wanted to choose what direction u want it.

im not talking about the long tube, im talking about the very last peice.

should i have it in front of my grill?

 

Ok here I go.... Im gonna break it down barney style....... Gimme a sec..



There ya go....... Barney style!!

 

Let me know of any other questions.....

 

alright cool. cuz u can turn it to any direction u want. but i guess i put it facing the wheel

 

the intake is 4 peices total

 

Ok let me search for the 4 piece tube.....

 

Here ya go..... There is a perfect pic.. One minute searching.. Found it.. Ill break it down barney in a sec..

 

yeah its just a black injen CAI.

i dont think ur gonna find it peice by peice though. ive looked for a while.

but i think it might supposed to go in back of the grill.

 

Here ya go.......... Shouldnt be anymore questions... If you cannot install this just pass the tools to a monkey..

 

ive seen that pic hah, but theres another peice which is connected to the actual filter. that red tube is the rubber peice. i know which direction that one goes. i just need to know about the peice that connects to the filter. does it face up, or should i face it low so it grabs more cold air?

 

that 3rd peice doesnt exist. thats an aftermarket peice.

that didnt come with mine.

 

Here's a break down of the Injen CAI

 

right. see hows there's not that "3rd peice". (for the other guy tryin to help me out)

i know what peice goes in order and all, its not that, i was just asking what direction i should face the filter.

 

Filter should go towards bumper

 

right?

AND

about installing, i know i dont have to take the bumper off, but the guy said i had to remove something.

is it that black plastic shield closest to my bumper?

 

WOW...this thread has gone on waaaayyyy longer than it should. Maybe you need to have someone install this for you.

 

I dont have the intake in hand..... You should use COMMON SENSE and put it together....... or take it to meineke and have them install it.... Intake= Monkey difficulty= below novice mechanic...

 

yeah i know, i just bought the damn car a few weeks ago and know nothing about it haha.

just know how to drive it. i know about parts and all but nothing about installation.

but im gonna go and give it a try right now. lets hope i dont break something!
