Intake Mod

intake mod,

1- 3" or 3 1/2" coupler
2- 3" inlet GREDDY style filter (or the real thing more $$$)

its a pretty simple mod. pull off the stock box, take off the deviders in the stock box with a screw driver, unscrew the tube which connects to the box (the one inside) take off the flared tip, which is screwed on, bolt the tube back on, then insert the coupler on the tube, then the filter right after, all you need from the coupler is the rubber part, you cant screw the clamps because of space issues. the rubber is good enough to seal the air, if you dont want to use the HKS style or the Greddy style which are mushroom style, use something else that fits, i used the Greddy because it was the only one that fits. you can get them at any shop or get the knock off ones at kragen (pretty much the same, just cheaper since your not paying for the name GREDDY) ill some pix soon
