my car right now has no air filter and it's raining... I got a filter from kragen and tried to connect it to the hose via this metal sleeve but it keeps falling off. what kind of intake do you guys use? and does it need to be modified or it fits? pics would help to thanks. btw im not just talking about performance just anything will do because I dont have the air box and I;m scared of sucking in water dirt etc

 

home depot parts make up my intake. Waltz on over there and grab some thin pipe or something? I really don't know. You can never have too many pipe clamps!

 

Buy an ebay intake for $15 made for your car and make it fit..

 

this is how it is right now but the filter keep falling off no matter what I did clamp it till it wont clamp no more but the filter is plastic so I cant clamp plastic.

I'm about to use duct tape...will it melt?

heres what I got right now the filter keep falling off

 

Yeah use duct tape,,It'll work..

Or do what I did..I put a sock on the end of the tube..

 

yo need to get a intake hose from a integra and put the one you have and the other hose to gether and you should be straight

 

if your looking for something more like a cold air intake drive your car down to the muffler shop, take your air filter with you, and have the man bend you an intake tube. if you make it two pieces it is easier to install. Autozone sells the intake coupler for about $5. it's the one that clamps to the intake manifold and then increases in size for a bigger intake tube. granted it's not mandrel bent, but for only $35, you can't beat it. also most cans of paint are about $0.94 at your local Wal Mart, so you could have any color you wanted too.

 

thats F'n ghetto but you know what. atleast you have a battery tie/hold down.

 

mainly what I need is not an intake but something to connect my filter and hose right now.

something like the one here:

 

i cant get to auto zone to get those intake couplings any alternatives

 

what I have done in the past is I found a piece of pvc pipe that will fit down in the filter real snug (only if the filter is like it is in the first picture, the tube clamps over the filter) cut about 1 inch and put it in the end, this will reinforce the filter so it doesn't crush where you are going to clamp it, or just spray some paint around the edge of the filter, let it get tacky then clamp the tube to it. that's worked a few times
