is that normal for some aftermarket intakes?

no its a Weapon-R
and in that picture you posted with the bracket, the sensor isn't anywhere in sight...
The sensor has like a valve in it that connects directly to the stock air intake set up
so i don't see how i could have even attempted to keep it with my weapon-r

nope.
Nope, I wasn't ever able to resolve the problem, I don't see how it could've been. It worked really well though, minus the check engine light, I actually noticed a difference.
I ended up putting the stock air-box back on cause I had to take the car to my mechanic (he whines his ass off about after-market parts and I really didn't want to hear it), one of my wheel bearings had apparently rotted out and some other shit, and my tire was about to fall off... fucking MA potholes and old age. Anyways took out the intake and now I'm putting the 2-ton bitch up for sale and getting a WRX. (Thank god.)
The Ac is atrocious in this new england winter, the AWD is more suitable and whatnot, so come onn subaru! Not to mention, i'm lazy, modding the already turbod car will be easier.
115k and still young. May your next owner be kinder to you than I was.

helpp..... who lives in california
i went to a shop for a cold air intake.... he said there are none...... so what do i do?? and he said most likely its the same as accord intake... ok but when i change to an accord intake... and i have to do smog check my car will not pass because its not a part for the cl... so whats up... what intake can i get... and is that true or not... thanks
#96

you need an AEM intake, they're all smog legal. just make sure you have the smog sticker on it. and if you have a 2.2 or 2.3 then get the intake for 94-97 honda accord.

ok first we'll start off saying you had 2 nipples on the intake pipe you go, one near the engine head, the other right off the throttle body.
the one in the green arrow is the one near the engine head and connects to the tube as pointed on the pipe on the engine head.
if you have that done, thats great. you probably do and want to focus on the red arrow....some people might not even have it.
but here is a close up of the red arrow that is near the throttle body the blue is where the side of the throttle body is at.
you will be connecting the VALVE ASSY., IN. CONTROL SOLENOID part # 36352-PT2-003 which is the solenoid he is holding in his hands. there will be a little white piece of pipe connector that is also pointed by a red arrow.
once again you see that little white piece that i was pointing to earlier to show that tube connects to the nipple that is near the throttle body.
here is also a diagram of the resonator chamber to help see which tube i am talking about and the sensor i am talking about.
reset your ecu, by pulling out the ecu fuse and the backup radio fuse for 10secs or removing the negative battery terminal and drain any left over power by trying to start the car without the negative terminal plugged in.
after that you should be cel free.

So today I received and installed an ebay SRI into my '99 2.3CL and thanks to this guide it was quite painless. Total install time was only 30 minutes! Have a question about a part I had to disconnect to get the intake to sit properly but I will pose it once it's light outside and I can get a decent photo. Thanks for the great info everyone!

One more thing, about the hose left hanging from the firewall, what should I do with it? I simply put a cap on it to prevent it from sucking up dirt and that kind of shit. I noticed with it plugged up it revs lower and vice versa.

Today I installed my SRI but I have a couple of questions. First of all I followed this DIY for the most part, I did steps 1-6 but there wasn't anything like in step 8 and 9 to remove. I just removed the big plastic tube that ran from the throttle body to the air filter. Then when I tried to install the intake this pop can looking thing was in the way so I remounted it so the intake pipe just barely clears it. As can be seen in this pic.

So my question is why dont i have those pieces, and what is that can type thing. Could it be that my car has this can thing rather than the piece in step 9?
And could you guys check to see if I got the hoses hooked up correctly. I just used one really short pice of hose. Thats all I need to do right?
![](http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/Jaysfan5432/Acura%20CL/DSC01086.jpg)
Another thing is that I after I installed this my check engine light didnt come on even though I didnt disconnect the battery. All this stuff has me somewhat puzzled, and your help is greatly appreciated. By the way I've punched it a few times already and it sounds sweet. Only a few more engine mods then ...

What did you do with the small hose that was connected to it? I unattached mine (the cylinder not the hose) from it's original position so that it's resting where the stock airbox was underneath the filter from the new intake. This left more than enough clearance room for the intake.

about 2 months ago i was on the interstate and i had no choice but to hit a cardboard box and i guess it kicked up and caught the plastic fender well and wedged it against my tire but the time i stopped it had melted most of it a way. so i cut a good portion of it off. but the point here is now i have a big hole were the air box was and im thinking about making a scoop that sits just bellow the bumper and forces air thru a pipe thru that hole next to that battery and to the filtter
does anybody see why or why i shouldn't do this? basically im looking for pros and cons

thanks for this writeup... followed the directions exactly, cut my wrist, busted a knuckle (sorry.. snow/salt state here..) and blasted down my road to wake the neighbors all in about 15 min. No CEL, no fuss..no muss.
#114
did you install the SRI? i love the sound of mine.

i had no idea the intake was this much of a sound difference, i love my car all over again!
although $20 ebay intake FTL, putting all that shit back in for smog is gonna suck. Got 6ft of new tubing for it tho.

Then... there is something about the nipple? i am very confused about that can someone please please clarify that for me? and the wires? i am just suppose to let how many wires hang? please help me out i am very anxious to install this and i don't wanna f up my engine bay... lol THanks in advance.

Everything including the filter box, filter, and tubing, replace with your intake, and hook the vaccuum lines (rubber tubing) up to your new intake

.... dam i don't have the rite tools for this i just finished failing at unscrewing so i can't even install my intake because those two golden bolts that bolts down the filter holder thing won't even come out no matter wtf i use on it and how much power it just sits. so i might just let some mechanic do it.... sad very sad....
