i just recived my rmr intake yesterday and planning on installing today after school. My problem is like i was messing around looking what had to be done and the black stock air box is kinda hard to get off..so i just woundeirng if any of you who had installed an intake could maybe tell me like what tools you used or how you went about getting it off....the intake came with detailed dirctions..i'm just looking for some advice or pointers before i begin. thanks for all your help you guys rock!

 

the install is pretty strait foward.. you'll probably just need a flat head screw driver (for the hose clamp) and a metric socket set.. just follow the instructions and you should be all set. Its a great intake.. i love mine! Sounds really nice Good luck and enjoy! and make sure to ask us any questions you have!

 

ok thanks...i know i have a metric socket set and screw drivers soo i should be able to handle it...doesn't look to hard....but i can't wait to hear what she sounds like after..i'll let you know how it goes

 

cant wait to see it at cal slam (your still going right?)

 

yup..i'll be there i was going to wait till cal slam to do it there with some assistance from anyone but i can;t wait that long..so i;m going to give it a shot..but if i have probs i'll jsut wait till cal slam...see you tehre though btw what time you getitng there?

 

dont forget to let your car idle for 10-15 min after the install to give the ECU time to adjust

 

Also, you're going to want to have a set of vise-grips on hand in case the plastic retainers in the stock airbox crack or wear away. The retention bolts are proprietary and will spin the plastic away inside the box.

Since the retention bolts are round (go Mitsu) no socket I could find can fit around the head and still hold tightly. Vice-grips are a must before yuo even try.

You might not even need them, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, driving around with half and airbox.

Good luck to you!

i am getting there tonight and staying at the ez8 motel (so are a bunch of other peps). Got some people crashing on my floor so should be a party at my room.

 

stock airbox is held in place by 2 or 3 bolts I can't remember, but that's about it (once you get started you will see how easy it is). the most difficult part of install is removing the MAS adapter from the factory box. like they have said the plastic that's used to hold the bolts while you loosen the nuts is not sufficient (I was lucky and only had a problem with one the bolts). good luck. There is probably a how-to with pics if you do a search.

 

woo woo finnished the install in like a hour.. Thanks for all the help though!.. I love this thing sounds really really nice good mod for the money def suggest getting the rmr intake

 

nice... glad to see you enjoy it now its time for an exhaust :-D (i recomend the GReddy!)

 

yeh...i'm thinking the greddy or custom cat back not sure yet though.....only thing bout greddy i hear its not that loud really..waiting to hear it on someone's ride
