I have a quick question can i use the the GSR CAI wit the skunk2 intake manifold???

 

Good question!!!!!!

 

Im pretty sure no, since the GSR IM has the TB sitting so low, while the S2/ITR TB sits higher, hence the extra bend in GSR intakes.

No you can't. You can either buy the LS AEM CAI or a Type R one. Go w/ the Type R one b/c it's bigger. And by bigger I mean wider.

 

There is no way to make this work wit the GSR CAI??? what if i bend it???

 

Well, hey if you can bend it got ahead. But I believe AEM designs there intakes to have the best bends for airflow. Your just setting yourself up for loss in power. Yea I was pretty pissed too when I found out I had to switch to the ITR intake. But hey its worth it. I got rid of that POS bypass valve, and got a bigger intake.

 

i cut mine and i bough the the thing that doesn't let the water get in to the manifold and it work really good for me
Sorry i forgot the name

 

You can make it work with an extra coupling, clamps and a saw saw. It won't look perfect but it will do the job. Personally I rather sell the gsr aem and purchase a new type r aem so it will look perfect and fit right.

Hey evil, do you have a S2 mani on your GSR? If so, how do you like it, im hearing mixed impressions from people.

 

dont' think of it as an s2 mani, think of it as an LS, SI, ITR motor with the single-runner manfold and trying to put a GSR intake on that..

To answer your question, YES it will work.. There will be a 'hump' up top since the gsr manifold's throttle body sits lower.. Hood clearance wasn't an issue on my EK, however, I'm not sure if it is on the DC chassis.. The intake will not mount to the shock tower like it used to, so it will have to be 'extended' in order for it to bolt-up, but my suggestion is to NOT do it at all.. If u have to roll it around for a couple weeks so u can find a new/used LS/ITR intake, then i guess it's okay..
