Question Help with Injen CAI Hoses/Install

Last night I installed my Injen CAI on my 02 TL Type S without any instructions other than the ones I found out here for a AEM (Pretty much the same). However, the kit came with 2 vacuum hoses. I think I know where they are supposed to go, but I wanted to see if anyone has any solid information or instructions you could <a href="mailto:lawrence@cierra.net">e-mail</a> me. The insall wasn't bad, only about 1.5 hours and you could definetly tell a difference. It's like the car was sophicating. Thanks for your help!!!

My intake did come with good instructions, however, I agree with you that the directions for the hoses weren't that clear. I did it my own way and left the stock metal pipe in the car, and just used the Injen hoses to extend that. Check out the link below, it shows a pic of the intake. Since the pic I have replaced the anti-freeze hose. I removed the Injen hose and added the stock one back on. I'm still using the Injen hose for the air though. Anyway, maybe this will help.....

Thanks Juniorbean

That's pretty much what I did, but I didn't shorten the hose. I wanted to wait and see if my approach was viable. I think I'll keep the stock metal tubes and just run the extension. Thanks for you quick response.

No problem. Just make sure that you have enough clearance for the hood b/c when you extend the stock metal hoses, it makes it sit a little higher. I just made sure it fit well, then trimmed the hoses accordingly. Good luck!!

Hows the increase in 'noise'? Does it sound like it is going to suck the paint off the street like the AEM?

Thumbs up Injen Intake

It has a suttle "hiss" when it starts up, but seams to go away or maybe you get used to it. When you give it gas, you can definetly hear it sucking air (like it was meant to). On the road, when you get about 3500 rpms, the engine is definetly more "throaty" sounding. It sounds great! When you shut the engine off, it sounds like it's decompressing or something.

I have an 98 eclipse GST spyder (which will spank my Type S) that I added a K&N FIPK to it a year and a half ago, it is really loud. Of course having forced induction makes a difference.

I only paid $100 bucks for my new Injen CAI, but it's well worth the investment.

Take care,
