As you guys know i bought an 8 back in november of '07 and about 2 days ago i ordered a KN V2 intake. I wanted 2 know if i had 2 do anything prior 2 installing the intake in the car. I've heard other owners oiling the intake prior 2 putting the intake in the car. How do i go about doing that and will i have 2 reset the ECU after the intake install. Thanks!

 

^^^ also the reason y i posted the thread here is because mine is an AUTO and if i would have posted anywhere else i would have gotten flamed for buying an AT lol!

 

It should come pre oiled. Just install it.

 

yay for autos! kinda

install it and u should be good to go..

hks hi power next on your list?

 

you don't need to reset your ECU if you're just get a short ram unless you take out that lil' cheap hosing thing behind your bumper and get the rb duct.

-haha@ run-on sentence

 

Yeah the HKS exhaust is next on my list i should order in about 2 weeks..have 2 wait for my next pay check..lol..i just thought i would have had 2 oil it pre-install but ill make sure 2 give my impressions on it when i get it..^^^and thanks for the ECU help.

 

^^^Charles would you be able 2 send me a Pm with the price and shipping to 33010? Remember HKS single, Thanx.

 

Congrats on becoming a vendor. Your little business is growing up.

 

CRH is a .

Really Ray is a good guy... So how low on a HKS Single Ray?
If its lower that $400 shipped dont tell me.

 

Congradulation on your first mod - it's catching - before long you'll have more projects than time.

Dealing with Black Halo is a joy. Ray will treat you right.

 

I wont say the price because i know he wants people 2 PM him..I did and trust me it's the lowest ive seen so far..i should be able 2 order within the next couple days...anyone else thats interested should PM him 4 sure.

 

^i just shot sprite thru my nose...

are you freakin' kidding me!? lol

 

That was including shipping.

 

When you do buy the HKS Single, one to pay attention to.

The Ti tip sleave has 2 oval cutouts. Its held on by 2 4 or 4.5 mm allen head bolts.
Dont leave any space aft of the bolts. If you do the hot exhaust gas will blow though this space and start to melt the plastic shroud in concentric rings.

Don't ask me how I know.

I'll post a pic that shows what I'm trying to explain.

 

^^^ Please put up a pic like you said when you get a chance..my exhaust is due in on thursday from CRH and im due 2 install on saturday hopefully. BTW i installed the intake on sunday and WOW i love the way the intake sounds especially on the higher RPM's and also in the later gears mostly 2nd and 3rd. So far im in love with the car..althought it's an AT but i could not be happier...after exhuast i plan 2 lower and see if i can get my stock rims painted black...dont really have enough money 4 rims now..lol..ill keep you guys updated and will post pics as soon as i can..thanx!

 

shoulda bought a mt.....,had to do it,...

 

SWEET! another 6spd AT that has mods!

 

^^^ I have a 4 spd AT..sorry..lol..

 

FOILED AGAIN!

jk jk - still all good - you're still an AT brother...haha

 

Better late than never. Sorry for the weird angle. If you look where the bolt holds the Ti tip on, notice there is no space for exhaust gas to escape.

 

^^^ Im sorry 2 sound dumb or something but what is it exactly that i should do on the install try 2 keep the tip as far from the shroud as possible correct..sorry if i didnt understand you maybe is the pic..

 

If you look at the pic, all you see is the bolt and the metal behind it through the oval cutout.

If you have the bolt in the middle of the oval, there is enough gap that exhaust gas will "shoot" out of that gap and melt the plastic shroud.

I think that made sense....

 

^^^ Damn thanx dude now i get you..I had 2 zoom in the pic 2 get what your talking about..but yeah ill make sure 2 keep that in mind when i get it installed..i should recieve the exhaust 2morrow or friday so im installing on saturday 4 sure..ill post pics and let everyone see the car.^^ Thanx again!

 

Just 2 update everyone..i installed the HKS single 2 day...btw it sounds gr8t with the KN intake..ill try and take some pics 2morrow and post the up.
