  • My weekend project

    The weather has finally let up and gave me the chance to install some of the things I have purchased since I got the car.

    ChromeIntakes CAI



    And vinyl inserts for the rear bumper. They didn't fit that well, so I plan or replacing them with the metal inserts eventually.



    I think thats a decent start. I still have my billet grille and 3" Magnaflow exhaust to install.

        chromeintakes are from this one ebay guy.

        when you say they didn't fit, do you mean they aren't sticking? or are just the wrong size?

          I noticed a slight increase. The biggest increase was in the sound of the intake. It has a loud woosh sound even while idle. Seems like while the engine is cold the intake is VERY loud. Kinda caught me by surprise when I started the car after I installed it.

          They don't fill the whole opening of the letters.

            Yeah same here its very loud on cold mornings when I start it up. And I can make it whistle almost everytime I hit the gas going down the road.

              They're supposed to be louder, because you got rid of the silencer, and metal carries the sound more. My Moroso intake does the same thing; my friend swore I had a S/C when I first put it on because it was much louder.

                I expected it to be louder, but it is much louder than I expected. I had a CAI from the same company in my previous car, a 99 Grand Am, and it wasn't nearly as loud.

                  Inserts look good... as well does the intake. Can't wait to see with grill and exhaust.
