Thread: Simple Intake (pictures)

All right ill see

I've read over this thing several times and hear a few common problems. How do u stabilize the filter? Many have said the clamp will eventually get loose. And what schedule PVC should be used as it get very hot under the Hood? I dont want it warp or even worse melt.

How stable is it, how have ppl solved the issue of it becoming loose over time

I'm thinking I'm going to need to pick up a new piece of PVC though, I bought one like yours, 3" with the small OD on the one side, however it seems the wall thickness on mine is a little thinner - the heat from the engine and the forces from the clamp seem to have turned it into an egg shape and the clamp had loosened off a little bit. I wonder has anyone else suffered from this problem? My engine temperature floats around the 85-90*C mark (185-194*F), which seems normal to me - granted I'm also using the boost a lot (really enjoying the car, lol) so I'm sure the supercharger is packing a heck of a lot more heat under the hood as well.

use silicone joiner then.

Also: if you have stock upper mounts, it'll move a lot, cause more elongating.

Motor mounts?

Flip the motor mounts? What does this accomplish. (Don want to get off topic, is there a thread with the answer/instructions? )
