    The "CAI" is NOT a "performance" modification.

    Why cant both sides be right :D. Lets take installing JUST a cai on a STOCK '88+ fox body. Say its a fenderwell mount system, and this is your very first mod you are doing to the car. You take off the factory tubing, air box, and silencer. You install the new tubing up to the tb, install...

    I dont have anything capped on the Cobra Intake. I bought it new from gefracing.com. ive always had good experiences with them. Out of the box it only has 2 openings on it, instead of the 3 from the factory. I plumbed the Cobra piece as shown above in Post #3. It leaves a spot for the pcv...

    Stoopid pop in the front end

    Have you done C/C plates. After the install of my c/c's on my '03, my car will "pop" when stopping on a hill, or sometimes just braking hard when the front end dives a bit. Apparently on mine (Steeda c/c's) there is a metal bearing inside that is responsible for my "pop" Whats supposed to...

    Question about EGR spacer

    Most of the installs of Cobra/Explorer intakes that maintained their egr valves, capped the rear line since there was no port, and also capped the front line. Should the front vacuum be connected if the rear is capped?

    So looking at the diagram of mine, where would it go :shrug: If it goes on the top left, according to the diagram I posted, where does the pcv go??? The hose on the top left, when it points down, goes directly to where the pcv slot is, so thats what I put there. Do I need to attach the pcv...

    Where does it go on the back of the intake??? Upper or lower??? The tree i attached to the upper intake contains the fpr line, smog line, and a hose from the vacuum tree on the firewall. Also, I dont see how that thing can stretch back to underneath the upper, but I guess its possible. Heres...

    Guess this line...

    Reassembling my intake project has been interesting. after a few broken bolts, cracking hoses, cooked coil, cap, and rotor, and pcv problems, I think Im about to wrap it up. The only thing I have left now is to connect a line, and I have no clue where it goes :shrug:. It runs from the dual...

    If your talking about the ones under the faceplate, I think they are 5/16 and 7" long.

    FAILED EMISSIONS! Have a few questions...

    Give this a shot. Go to advance auto, or autozone, one of those places. Look for a box of fuel additive called guarenteed to pass. I used it last year and got through emissions with 2 cats blown slam out. Considering you are only off a point or 2, it will work wonders for your car. If you...
