It will work with any intake of the same diameter. The Apexi intakes seem to be expensive and they'll come with another filter. I dunno...

Has anyone used this thing, any homemade tips i could use??

You need aftermarket piping to do this, don't try to attach it to the stock box... there's no point. If you found piping for $30, go for it. Another alternative is to get a super cheap ass Ebay intake and put this filter on it.

are the inside diameters of the intake and the filter the same ? if yes you could remove theairbox and have some pipe the same diameter connect the 2. i hope i made some sense.

go to home depot or lowes or something that has "plumbing" supplies and get a "rubber plumbing adapter" that would fit inside the stock intake arm and around the apexi intake.
i bought this generic intake w/o the arm on ebay, and what they game me was a rubber plumbing elbow that fit just right... but i like the chrome looks, so i just ordered the extra arm... sad but GOOD LUCK!!!! |
