intake install????

[eclipse0508]

i bought an short ram intake off ebay and i recieved it and the blue rubber connector that goes from the throttle body to the intake tube doesnt fit the throttle body??? Plus it only came with 1 clamp for the tube??? am i sopposed to use a piece of the stock intake to make it fit?? let me know what you guys think?????

the coupling should fit the throttle body, and u need to snag one hose clamp off ur stock intake and use that. also, get a CAI instead, ram is no good

ya and if it doesnt fit, you can pick up an aem one from a shop for like $4 i believe. but i gotta agree, CAI is the way to go

yea like the other two dudes said, just use the stock clamp.... and what do u mean it doesnt fit? u mean there's no way u can get it on? cause that thing is rubbery and it stratches out a little bit im sure u can fit on around that thing.... well good luck and i have to say that, buy a CAI its better then short ram!

this size of the rubber connector fits the new intake tube just fine, but the other side of the connector is too large for the size of the throttle body. I mean it cant fit. for example the size of the throttle body is about 2" the size of the adaptor is about 2 1/2 inches or so. those arent correct sizes, im just setting an example. thanks for your imput guys.....

may i add that the shortram off ebay is 30 dollers and a CA is 250

Sorry maybe some people arnt as loaded as others

well yea if u compare a brand name CAI to Ebay short ram then u r right.... Ebay CAI <<< check this one out, of course its not a brand name one but its a tube with an air filter (crappy one most likely) so just replace it with a K&N or something and uve got the same thing... the only thing ull be missin is that big A.E.M sticker on the side!

i got this one and its sic, same quality as my buddies aem but the filter sucked so i threw a k&n on just like Tsar said
