I just bought an short ram or whatever intake system and I need help taking the stock intake out. Any help will be appreciated, which tools do I need anything... Thanks in advance.

 

I'm not sure what year Accord your have but all you should need is basic hand tools...most of the bolts/nuts will be 10mm, 12mm and 14mm...

 

if you have problem with installing a intake..do a search..

 

First, take out the 3-4 screws there are over the air box(philips)

Then, Pull out the top part you just unscrewed out of the intake arm

Then take out the filter, then the two bolts that hold in the bottom of the filter box. Pull the bottom of the filter box up and to the right, and it will slide right off the resonator tube things.


And finally, un do the two vacuum hoses, and unclip the things attached to the intake arm. And then remove the intake arm from the throttle body.

From there, you just put your pipe in, with filter already on it. Put the rubber adapter piece on the other end(the end with the two nipple for the hoses) and slide the rubber thing over the throttle body. Tighten the hose clamp around the TB. reattach the hoses to the appropriatly sized nipple. And you are done

You can optionally reset your ecu, or just wait a week for it to adjust.

 

yep,he just told ya. it's so simple to install a short ram.

next time do a search. and read the forum guidelines please.

 

Geez everyone's a hardass now.

 

hey thanks so much... I really appreciate the help. I will try to do it this mourning, hope everything go smooth... And don't worry to the other guys I will try the search thing next time.

 

one other question, do I need to take out the resonator too?

 

you can. no big need to but wont hurt anything. if you ever go CAI cold air intake. youll need it out but for short ram. not a big deal

 

another thing, my car is 97 accord ex and there is like a mini-arm coming out of the main arm. What the hell is that? and do I need to remove that thing to? and I only see one little hose on the stock intake and the one that I bought has 2 little hoses. where is the other one? And the original intake the hoses are like part metal it don't matter if the one with the intake that I bought are rubber?

 

Just hook up the one and cap off the other one. You can get the rubber caps at Pep Boys. Use either the stock hoses or fuel line. The air going throught here can get pretty hot and oil soaked.

 

sometime removal of resonator can help to vent better.
like the 01-02coupe, there's a fat vent in each side of the bumper.
