I was having my intake installed when i notice that under the intake box lies a mini radiator so to speak. my question is if i remove this n cap off all of the hoses will i get a check engine light or is there a way to get around this. please help

 

..thats your Intake Resonator which basically muffles the sound of your intake. I'm not sure about a SRI but for a CAI, you'll definitely need to remove the resonator.

 

You definitely won't get a check engine light, but i would just remove it anyway. Give yourself a little more room.

 

Only 99s have the mini radiator

 

thanks guyz so i guess short ram should be good enough thanks alot

 

I wouldnt waste my time on a short ram. Id get a CAI

 

have to be careful w cai in miami so im not too anxious to do that but i have safc n i cant make any power w it because of so much restriction so when i install im going back on the dyno.

 

Get a icebox if your worried about water

 

I'm in Miami and slammed with a cai.....no real problems.....but I don't really drive my car in the rain

 

Rain wont hurt it. Driving into Small lakes will

 

if you're going to be removing your airbox you might as well take out the resonator and install a CAI. i wouldn't waste my time on a SRI b/c you're just sucking in your hot engine heat to your engine.

 

i've never heard of this, so for the CAI i need to get rid of a small box look alike thing?

 

Yeah, when you pull off the front bumper, you'll see the whole assembly in front of the driver's side wheel. I'd pull the whole thing out.

 

The little mini radiator thing you're talking about is different than the resonator. You're talking about the thing that is on the bottom of the stock air filter, right? Has two hoses going to it?? That is different than the resonator that everyone else is thinking about. You'll need to remove those hoses and antifreeze starts coming out and just take off one of the hoses and hook up the other hose where that one came from (this will make more sense when you're actually doing it).

 

god, just had to go and get a 99, 1 less gear, less cool stuff, and more useless crap

 

ok so just run the inlet into the outlet aight i get u. but u sure i wont get a check engine light or have any over heating problems w the car?

 

Yes were positive. That was simply to heat teh air in the intake. You wont get any CEL. Members have been doing it for years now

 

aight cool thanks man appreciate it.
