Noob Intake help?!

[xJx]

ghetto tip:

tape some duct tape on the line itself under the intake pipe to prevent rubbing

lol i dont care if its ghetto as long as it works and its safe because i have no idea how the mounting bracket works ir where it goes....what if i used electrical tape?

Electrical tape does not like heat and will get all sticky and nasty. Use duct tape, it will hold better and longer.

Zip ties become brittle with the engine bay heat and break over time. Badger had a better idea of just putting some duct tape where the intake touches the A/C line.


Now that you have an intake, when you turn off your car after running hard, you now might smell some residual exhaust gases mixed with a little oil. It comes out from your PCV vavle or your breather tubes from your Valve cover. It's normal, unless you have a lot of oil built up inside your intake tube after time.

ok so the smell i smelt is normal? nothing to really worry about? hope so..

Number One Rule Of Ghetto Fixes:

99% of all problems can be fixed with 2 Items, Duct Tape or Hammer

If it moves and shouldn't, duct tape

if its stuck and should move, hammer

It's normal to smell a little bit. Especially after running hard, but to be 100% I'd have to see your car. The only thing you can do it check your oil level when your car sits over night. If it's fine and not going down, then you don't need to lose sleep over anything.

Instead of wrapping a thick layer of duck tape, cut 2 inch of that rubber tube that comes with the intake pipe. You know the tube that you connect to the intake pipe to the engine. When I got mine it was like 12 inches long. After you cut a small portion off, split it down the middle. Then just push it down on the a/c pipe. It will naturally contour to it. Then if you want duck tape it down, for me I use small zip ties on both side. Here's a picture of what Im talking about.

As you can see I replace the intake pipe back to stock cause I was getting tired of it. There was alot of rubbing on it but it didnt damage either parts.
