Intake pipe Q's:, whats all the stuff at... Options

[duga10]

awhile ago i installed a pod filter on my 5sfe and now i wanted to instal new piping
but there are 2 problems.

1st: the sensor inside the stock rubber piping, how do you install it in the metal piping? (without it falling out again)

2nd: at the end of the piping (close to the throttle body) there is a small black box under the pipe that is connected to it. what is this? and do you need it?

i appreciate any help!

Well, I can't speak from experience, because I bought my car with a CAI on already, but I don't have any of that on mine. Install without them in and see how it runs, thats the best you can do. If it runs like crap then its time to start looking at putting those things back on.

ok remove ur stock air box... and were the sensor is take that out and then take off ther rubber holder... and then fit that on to ur new intake tube... and that black box i'm don't remeber what it is for.. but for some reason with u take that thing off ur engine sound mean and hungry the way it should.. lol

black box is just a resonator/sand trap

if that sensor thing ur taking about is the temp sensor then this is how i did it on my custom CAI which hopfully will have its "how to" article read through soon.
