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.

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!

I mea those fluffy scrubs you use on yourself. Lol I am just lookin for a way to clean them cheaply.

As for vcuum caps, where can I buy some and are they cheap?

Epoxy is solid when it dries too.

vacuum caps are like $.20 each, check napa or pep boys or a place like that and bring in the piping to match it up. I know expoy dries solid, but you can still have small tunnels where the air can pass through

So it will be a while until I get my bypass valve and the tools I need. I think I am going to fab my own SRI out of what I have. Yes/No?

you can, but whys it gonna take so long for the bypass valve? they r $40 and tools needed is just a hand saw, drill and a couple of sockets. you can, just add on the rest of the piping when you get what you need.
