Well I installed the intake today on my 6s MTX; and after several hours of laboring and puzzling (more to follow) I must say the difference is NICE. I bought the intake used, but it appeared to be in good condition, I decided however to buy a new filter but alas the stores around here only had generic so thats whats on now till I order another. Recommendations on 'good' brands?
Now concerning the install. I had seen several people mention the instructions and how at times they were vague. I concur completely, in fact, I think those were probably just about the worst instructions I have ever seen. Steps seem to be combined or come in what seemed to me very confusing orders. Added to that are terrible pics, esp of the vacuum hoses, and several steps, such as what to do with the VAM seloniod (sp) hoses aren't mentioned at all. Adding the MAF customizer was the easiest part, used the Scotchloks, yes I know people say solder if at all possible. Since I haven't soldered anything since I was like 10, figured it wouldn't be a great idea. Still everything seemed to go well, car is running great, at least after first short drive, with no warning lights or crazy engine trouble. Well just my 2 cents.
