Installed an intake on friends 2gnt today...LOL

[Eclipse96Ryder]

so we installed an AEM cai on my friend 2gnt eclipse. Omg, its so easy. When i first got my car it seriously took me like an hour and a half to install my intake. This time (like the 5th intake ive installed) it took like 10-15 minutes. Piece of cake. but the funny thing is that the vacuum hose from the stock intake isnt long enough to fit to the CAI...so we had to take his coolant overflow dump line thing and get that damn thing to fit. His car is low on coolant anyways so that wont be used for a while.

To get to my point, It gave him a really nice power gain, you can definately feel it, i dont like when people say intakes do nothing....if thats so, then u got a shitty intake...or you installed a short ram.

It's not a good idea to run a car low on coolant in the first plase, but it's really bad to take that hose off the recovery tank. Now when the car gets hot and the coolant expands it will dup all in the engine bay. If I were you I would call that guy and tell him to get to an auto parts store quickly and replace that hose and buy some coolant. Vacume hose is less than $1 a foot why would you install an intake this way? It would have been better to leave the hose off the intake than to do it that way.
