More CAI fun., 3 inch pipe? normal or no. Options

[cHinaman727]

I took some pictures of my Ebay'ed CAI. I havent installed it yet and I probably won't until I buy a bypass valve. I believe I recieved a 3 inch pipe.
In the following picture, it looks maybe 2.75 but that is only on that side. When you turn the pipe, it is 3 inches.



This is a picture of the start of pipe that the filter connects to. Not the end for the filter, the other end. For some reason, I got a 3 Inch Pipe.
I think that's what it is. Is this going to mess up my intake?




This is a picture of the two pipes and filter I recieved. The red circled parts are the two pipes I talk about in my previous post.
As you can also see on the pipe without the two small things, there are two dents, probably not much of a concern.



A closeup of the two little pipes.



This is the 3 inch filter I recieved. It is big.



6 Inches long.


From this information, what can you tell me? Is it too big? I fear I spent 30 bucks on something that wont work for me.

I found a bypass valve for 44.95 near where I live. I need the 3 inch one right?



Thanks!

How do I clean the inside of the pipes? My dad suggested one of those shower scrubber things. How would yall do this?

Oh and I am going to seal those two pipes with some epoxy stuff.

use throttle body cleaner and a rag. When you say shower scrubber thing you mean like the shower cleaner stuff? or like a scrubbing pad u use in the shower on your self? or like a scrubber u use to clean the walls.

As for using the epoxy, i would get some vacuum caps first, then epoxy the caps onto the pipe, it will probably seal better.
