has anyone modified the stock air box to fit the ETS uicp? or is it impossible?

 

It will be difficult as long as we're being honest While our stock battery UICP does offer great clearance for aftermarket intakes, maintaining the OEM battery and still saving 8" over the factory UICP length puts it a fair bit in the way of the stock airbox mounting location. It could be manipulated to fit, but it will take some creativity.

EDIT: I just noticed that your thread title says "short route UICP." Either way, if you want to give it a try and aren't able to get fitment that is satisfactory we will happily accept it back for a full refund

it seems like the short route uicp with the mini battery would have better clearance for the stock box because it goes under and not over, would you agree?

 

I would agree. The only issue may be that the piping still has to clear the MR counterweight so it sits up a bit from the transmission. It does tuck down very closely, but may still sit up too high for mildly modifying the box to be feasible. Fitment with as many aftermarket intakes as possible rather than OEM airbox compatibility was our design tack.

thanks for the quick replies, not sure what I want to do yet having a open element filter in california is a ticket waiting to happen.

 

I know ETS makes a great product, but the Nisei pipe utilizes the stock intake box, but will require a small battery kit.

 

I tried running the ETS short route upper pipe with the stock box, there was no way that I could see that it would work. the pipe goes directly where the maf would sit with the airbox. I wish it would but I can't see how you could get it to work

 

Yeah, looking at the picture Tom posted, theres no way it'll work with the stock box.

 

the pic tom posted is not the short route pipe like being asked about

 

Here's a few pictures of the short route UICP for reference:

Thanks for the responses guys.

 

You can always go with the Nisei Engineering set up if you want to run your stock air box.





Here is a picture of a black pipe kit with air box on their site.

 

Hmm... Why would you want to change your uicp and not your intake?

 

because open intake is california sucks

 

Alot of ppl like to keep it Stealth.
