I just installed my Densencharger..yeah I have had it for a few months now.
Well anyway the insructions confused the hell out of me. I could not for the life of me get the damn thing in.
I had set the plastic tube and the new PRO-M maf up earlier so the sealant would have a chance to set.
Anyways it talked about undoing the round plastic maf piece with the metal screen and stuff like that? Why? I did not use it if I needed it?
So I tried to put the filter in the whole from up top...yeah that does not work either it was just a tad too big.
I only have the meter and tube that goes into the fender.
So to check my filter am I going to have to take the black plastic mud guard off all the time?
I ended up undoing that screw then could not get the push pin out so I pulled the guard out instead of pushing it in, had to fight that for a while.
It was hard to get it lined up too, once I did get the filter in I had to pull up on the maf to get the thing all the way into the TB tube so I coule snug the screw down.
That black plate that comes with 3 screws??? Yeah I only used the top two, is that ok? No way was I going to even come close to a straight hole with my drill trying to get to that 3rd hole. So I left it and did not drill but the two holes in my fender.
Is there anything I should know about this install?
I would imagine that K&N will get dirty quick in that fender too...any help for checking it and getting it in and out without so much trouble?
One thing I will say, took her for a quick spin...HOLY ****! She revs so fast now, between the exhaust and now the filter kit the damn thing is in 3rd before I can realize it. 1st gear was spinning even from a roll and spins into 2nd and it was honestly hard to keep up with the gears. I am stock gears too.
Anyways some helpful tips and or suggestions would be appreciated. I plan to take her out to a mustang meet/cruise tomorrow and we are going to a nice park in Brown County, IN.
p.s. The one thing I would deff. like to see...directions for the 2001 cobra, my sheet had stuff for 2v and 4v and 03+ cobras as well...makes it even harder to understand them I wonder if some of the things I skipped were for other cars???
****For instance the sheet talked about a fender L piece and an under hood one, well I only had once big black plastic piece from them so that confused me, also talked about some other screws that I never found or seemed to need. I had 2 set screws for the black tube that went into the bigger tube...I am wondering now if that was it...I had the thing together I guess that tube should have been mounted to the filter first then put up under the car and into place and slide through the black panel? Hopefully that thing never needs to come off..
At any rate I hope I did it right, if not please let me know ASAP as I do not need my car to break down.
