Anyone - (CROD)

I was able to find the 1 1/2" cap but I check 6 different HD in NYC area NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has the 3" Elbow--

Can someone help? Next time your in the Orange box can you pick one up for me? I can send paypal, check tks..

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT

-PINK,

 

I could not find the part at HD so I went to Lowes and got something simular. The Lowes part does not work because you can't stretch it over the intake.

 

I have found these places that sell the Silicone hose like Fabspeed uses:

Does anyone know the exact size that we need (3" 90 degree?)?

 

Crod, how is your Home Depot Cold Air kit holding up? I still need to go search my local HD and see if they ever got these parts in...for fun.

see ya, Mike

 

Well I never get to gather the parts for DIY so a friend of mine bought the Schnell part for me. Although there is quite a noticable change in intake sound from 3000 rpms, it came with a increased vibrations from the first minute I fired up the engine. Too shakey and rough. Everything sort of vibrates. Is this normal? I would be thankful if other fellow members who did this mod can help me out.

mdrums: This may be horribly noisy on a Tip car I am not even sure if I will be able to stand it for long.

 

MY car is 6 speed and runs fine with the HD elbow! Perhaps you have an air leak? It seems to be holding up well after 3 months!

 

A few months ago, long before I saw this post, I bought a Schnell from ebay for I think $110, oh well, too late now... While it was in the mail, I put in a K&N air filter and blocked off the resonator with duct tape, I only went down the street and didn't get up in the higher RPM range, so to me, it didn't make any difference. Then when I put on the Schnell, I still didn;t notice a difference, although I only had the car for a short time and only drove it a few hundred miles, so maybe I just didn't know the car well enough... It has a PSE that I think is set to always loud, so maybe that has something to do with it? I was actually thining of puting the stock pipe back on.

Also, I have been told by multiple people to take out the K&N filter because it could cause problems with the MAF ??? Has anyone heard this before?

 

Not much of a difference until higher RPM! K&N filter, it's up to you!!

 

Anyone know where I can get a red elbow and cap from? I woudlnt even mind a gloss black.

Do we need the 3" 45 degree elbow?

 

Google schnell cold air intake or search for (home depot) cold air intake, workaround?

 

Guys - neat DIY stuff : newbie question - what are the most obvious seat of the pants effects from blocking off the resonator chamber ? Saw fabspeed video and dyno data.

anyone looked at SAMCO hoses. I had a set of these on my Audi. Excellent quality and look good too. They sell a 3 inch 45 degree elbow.

 

Just more noise - no HP.

 

I agree!!!
