Wow dude, good job! I had this question when I put my PRM intake. What's that thing (thin plastic black box) infront of the filter? Is it the ECU?

 

you got it ECU

 

Cool. Sucks that it's so close to the battery (not that it matters)

 

The ecu no one has come out with tuning options for?

 

lol I hear u. I'm dying waiting for Hondata (or someone) to offer reflash...

 

My next mod is going to be a large marine battery for the audio system. Battery goes dead in 10 minutes with my radio on at half volume.

 

^wow...what kind of audio system u runnin?

 

I'm in the same boat as you let me know how it goes I might wanna do that two cuz it's annoying to have to start the car every five mins

 

For the love of God, i don't think i can do this...

 

I have a question, how did you connect the 3 inch tube to the filter/coupler? I noticed something at the end of the tube like a clamp or something. Which side goes in first lol.

So if you're planning to get a 2.5" filter instead of 3", here is what you need: an extra maf cover if you want to go back to stock, 2.5" filter, 2.5 to 2" coupler, breather, 3 " pipe, 2.5" to 2.5" coupler with 2 hose claps. Is this correct?

 

Correct. Except the 3" pipe. You need a 2.5" pipe. The 2.5 inch pipe slides inside of the 2.5" end of the 2.5" to 2" coupler. This will leave some of the pipe exposed out of the couplet you will slide your 2.5" filter over the top of that pipe and clamp it down with whatever clamps are supplied with the filter. Usually screw hose clamps.

 

^One cut in



you see the pipe that has the extra tip? where does that side go into, like does it go into the filter side or the MAF coupler side?

 

filter goes on the velocity stack end,the flared end.

 

Gotcha, I loosened and removed that piece on the pipe as I did not need it. It's just a fancy looking coupler that came with the pipe that I did not need. I then cut the pipe in half to reduce the overall length of the assembly.

 

sweeeeet! I will be doing this asap! gotta get my lazy butt to the dealership and order another MAF lid thing. thanks!!

 

finally got mines installed. cost was roughly $40 (found a cheap short ram intake for a lancer for ten bucks on craigslist brand new).





just installed this morning before i started work. can't wait to try it out. thanks for the write-up and tips.

 

How much does a new stock air box cost? Looks interesting, and effective, but the reality is, this mod costs a lot more than $50 in the long run unless you find someone who wants to pay a pretty penny for a modified used car. Well, that's assuming you aren't going to keep the car forever.

 

Explain?
Actually it does cost ~$50. Even in the long run. New stock air box lid cost $18 which has the MAF tube you need. Read the first page.

This is an easily reversible mod. I can put in my stock air box anytime I want to. I have the whole thing sitting in my garage. That's the point of buying another air box lid for $18 and hacking that one up. For those "Just in case" scenarios.

 

Ah - I see. I didn't see the cost of the airbox lid. Sounds like a good mod!

 

My Injen SRI is 2.75" filter and I would love to modify it to a 3" filter, is there anyway that I can do that??? Any input would be great!
