Where's the vibration mount?

Sorry I'll need to be educated, what's a vibration mount?

There is usually a mount welded to the tube right above the filter that bolts to that empty screw hole to the left of the airbag harness.
It's a far way from there though, this CAI is by far the highest sitting one I've seen. |
Did that come as a kit specifically for the 3G TL? Or just a bunch of various pipes/clamps you have to fit together yourself?
Also looks like an engine bay cleaning is next up on the list haha |
Looks good. Hopefully you're not paying for his gas with that MOD...lol

The real question is how much he paid for it. Those injen and AEM intakes that cost a few hundred bucks are a total waste of money IMO. I only did it because it was cheap. |

Obviously the actual power gains there are so marginal that they probably wouldn't even show up on a dyno. But hey, for the price it was a good mod :thumbsup:

Tell your son to hang onto all of the OEM parts; when the time comes to sell the car, if he reverts it back to bone stock the resale value of the car will be significantly higher.

Hmmm, given the layout of the OEM CAI, I'm having a difficult time wrapping my brain around how that might be possible. Not saying you're wrong, just that I don't understand it.
The weight difference was significant which was one of my primary purposes in replacing it. If I were to purchase another 3G for some reason, I probably wouldn't bother. |
