i'm installing aem short ram there are two hoses in the air filter box what do i do with them??

What is your problem their are 2 hoses that connect to the plastic stock tube and on the new aem tube their are 2 nobbies that you connect the 2 hoses to with the clamps. i dont understand why you are having a problem.

what year is your car?...

you are probably referring to the coolant hose that runs from the throttle body to the airbox then back..

u have 2 choices..

cut it short and just make it loopback...

or..

open the airbox assembly, take out the mounting bracket for the
coolant hose and just leave lie near the battery tray..under the
RAM tube..

IT'S A 99 right, take the hoses apart, remove the short hose and reconnect the two so the fuild still flows. Also I do not think the hose from the throttle body fits on the small metal piece of the intake, I bought a hose slightly larger then both and clamped them together..

yeah that's what i did i just looped it together thanks a lot i'm pretty new to the tl i just got a 99 and added the intake last night i just didn't know what to do with those two hoses. also is it supposed to be that loud when u get down on it?

kevin cody

yea, I had no idea either, it is load, I was supprised. I like that it is quiet under normal driving, It only sounds faster, I do not think it really makes a diff. Did the other small hose fit over the little tube on the intake and did you mount it by the horn?? Mine is not really mounted to the frame but it is in place from a tight fit on the throttle body.. Good luck with it!!

yeah it came with a short rubber hose and i just clamped both ends on the hose that goes to the intake. yeah i mounted it by the horn i had to take the horn off and sttach it in a different angle than what it was but so far so good with everything now i'm facing the question WHAT NEXT???? any suggestions

kevin cody

Yea, Number 1. make a huge diff, go to ebay, get 02+ taillights.
2. Comptech springs to lower it a little!!
3. find some tl-s wheels and the car will look fine for the summer!
4. If you get the money, get the OEM body kit..

what color is it????????

too exspensive!! i was thinking rims, tailights tint but i'm curious about tint i don't want it to look all ghetto i still want it to look classy that's why i'm staying away from limo tint but what would be a god % tint on the back because 35% is the darkest you can go on the front in texas. Also I was looking to get rims and tires for about 8-900 any suggestions? size style? would the new tl rims look good on it?

kevin cody

I would get the type s wheels, think they look better, and go light no more then 35% tint, that is what I have on mine and it is white still looks classy!!!!

i find if i drive and avoid making the AEM sing...
i get better gas mileage.

so, it's a little reminder....
get off the gas!...

brader

cool i think these last 2 posts are great but it's hard not to make it sing!!! where can i get the type s wheels for the cheapest?

kevin cody

Probably off this site, or maybe ebay!
