Cold air intake 7AFE HELP!!, hopefully not a waste of money... Options

[Redline08]

Ok so the other day i purchased what i thaught to be a cold air intake from a store on eBay called "chromeintakes"

After 2 weeks they e-mailed me and told me my "engine specific custom intake" was finished and shipped, then about a week later a crappy package showed up with some pipes lol, im not a mechanic but i have done intakes on friends car and such and im no stranger to the 7AFE.

This intake blew, i couldnt even get it to fit without cutting a good 2" off the main piping, then when i finally got it in what i thought was the right place i stepped back and was like wtf, this intake looks like it might suck even hotter air than a short ram intake.

I was really hoping i could get some ideas on fixing this hunk of #### , i included pics because i think there is a tranny line down there that can be moved but i dont know if i should touch it, considering the tranny is kinda important lol








If you need more pics i have them or can take some if you really want

Thanks!!!!!!

Lol, that's the same intake I use to have too. It will only suck cool air in when the car is moving. So, the only way to make it beneficial is to get another rubber coupling, clamps, and another pipe (same diameter as chromeintake's intake pipe) and extend the existing CAI setup. You will then need to readjust the angle of the piping so it goes right under the battery instead of being close to the exhaust manifold.
