how about more details on where to find it.

you can get them at any place that sells spectre. you might have to get it special ordered because it was just released. like i said earlier, i payed about 35 bucks at pep boys. im hooking up the whole set up tonight. the part number is 9405 and its called a mass air tuning kit.

hey dark, you have any pics, im thinking about the bull bar and the gibson exhaust next.

Why do you have those small filters on there instead of the vent tube? You are pulling in un-metered are with them

 

[engine165]

they are just on there temp till i can get the right plumbing. the tube on the intake is way to small for the stock hose. im picking up the right hose and adapters this week.

What do you mean? How's the performance with it? I went to Pepboys and they had no clue what I was talking about! If I get this, what do I need to get so it fits and works?

ok if you go to pepboys, tell them to call spectre and then thay can put it in the system. thats what i had to do. it works great, i can feel a little pit more pull. i didnt use and thing in the kit cept for the tube and the correct adapter for the sensor. then you need a cone that fits 3inch tube. from there it depnds on the intake you want. i got one off ebay for 30 bills. its a 3.5 inch intake. it came with a filter that was too big for the maf adapter and i needed one more 3.5 to 3 inch intake hose adapter to hook up to the throttle body. pepboys will not have it. i had to hit up a speed shop but your better off getting it off ebay if you can wait. make sure to disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the comp so it can "relearn" the new airflow other wise youll throw a few lean codes. once i run a few tanks of gas through, ill know if it helped or hurt mileage but i dont think it is gonna change too much. and by the way, im using the Tornado and gained about 1.5 mpg with the stock set up. it will fit perfectly in the new intake if you use a 3.5 inch intake.

I agree it is high, but aluminum instead of plastic.

 

[engine165]

the spectre piece is aluminum and mig welded, the only thing plastic is the adapter

Sweet- I just looked up that part. See, I assumed it was the same one I have, which is plastic. Is the one you have 3" ID or OD?

 

[engine165]

pretty sure it 3 inch od

 

[justin146]

pretty sure it 3 inch od

How thick is the tube?

 

[engine165]

its not as thick as exhaust tubing, i dont have the exact measurements
