ok well i went to pep boys and bought a filter and a map sensor adapter plate and made a custom intake it looks like the rrm intake. my problem is that wen i drive i felt a lose of power at low rpms wen i was driving so i took it off and also it made like a poof noise once wen it was on. so i was wondering wat the poof noise was and if u think it cause any damage to my engine. 1 more thing wanted to know if this lose of power happens wit every intake or was it just that it was just my cheap intake? thank u

 

You shouldn't have felt a loss in power. Was your MAF sensor connected after you put on this "make shift" intake?

 

to be honest it was but it was at angle because i couldnt get the bolts to line it up straight... so wat i did i unbolted and put it straight and taped it down but i still felt the lose of power wat do u think... also wat do u think that poof noise was?

 

the poof is just the intake sucking in the air. You definitely shouldnt lose any low end power with an SRI. I would be careful with your MAF. Those things are really expensive.

 

look I bought the same thing and I began to install it and i had problems in the installation process do you have any pics of your intake ??? mine did not fit on the sensor adapter?

 

its the maf its not the wright housing

 

so I wasted my money ???
Im mean there has to be a way to connect the adapter cauze hnestly the intakes ae high on price and Im dealing with low budget

 

How would we know? You just gave a rough description of your problem, didn't post pictures, etc.

Why didn't it fit on the adapter? You can't get help unless we know what's wrong.

 

How is $60 too much for an intake that works?

Buy a Mazda 3 2.3L intake off ebay. With slight moddification it will work like a champ.

 

no I mean other brands the intakes that are out now

 

nop sorry know it fits I did not installed properly but thanks anyway

 

if you've got to use tape to make sure it fits, then it's not installed properly imo

 

You might have done this already, but i would double check the direction of your sensor was it installed (with flor or against flow).

 

what brand intake is it? this is why i never understand. If you buy something and it doesnt work, dont mess with it, just return it or call the manufacturer.
