i got a k&n intake from ebay about 3 months ago. the pipe barely fit and the filter barely even got in there. it is touching the coolant resvoir. should it be that close? basically bottom line....should i buy a new intake that fits better...

 

c'mon someone humor me and answer this dumb question.

 

you get what you pay for suckaaa..lol jp
if you want help put some more detail. what car?

possible to take a pic?? yes ive seen filter close to coolant resvoir. but not touching. try to push filter into pipe more

 

99 LS. its probably ok but it just seems like the filter shouldn't be so close to the anit-freeze resevoir. i would post a pic but i dont know how to.

 

is it cold air intake or short?

 

cold air intake

 

is it touching or actually pushing the resivoir?

 

its just touching it . theres prob like 1/2 mm between it...so thats almost nothing so yea it touches...but does not push it.

 

i say leave it then...

OH, btw.. is the CAI bolted down so it doesn't move?

 

no its not bolted down...but its so tight in there it has virtually no movement anyway. it didnt come with anything to stabilize it really.

THere's a spot to throw in a bolt from where you took your stock airbox out. See if you can drop a 1" bolt in there and then use a zip tie to secure the CAI to the bolt so it doesn't hit your coolant or AC lines.

 

alright i'll try that...thanks a lot.
