Default IF YOU BOUGHT A "COLD AIR INTAKE" FROM EBAY THEN READ!!

i have a 92 and i bought a cold air intake from ebay and i havent taken it off untill yesterday...then when i did i noticed theres 2 holes in it about the size of a quarter. they're right on the first bend it has and it has been rubbing on something else on the bottom side of it....i think it was rubbin on some piece that has to do with the brake system....but i thought id share the news so you can check to because who knows what all ive been sucking in.....i dont know if i didnt push it far enough up on the throttle deal or what but you might want to check yours....

I have bought one on e-bay before but this did not happen. But i really wanted to ask you what you thought about the tokico struts, b/c i am thinkin of getting shocks and springs from tokico.

i dont have a problem with them....the springs that came with them only lowerd it like 1.5 inches or something like that and the ride was great....but i cut about 2.5 coils off the spring i believe and the ride aint bad....its WAY better than the stock struts when lowerd

Thank god I chose Injen.

Just plug up the holes (if useless) with hi-temp silicone.

You could always reinforce it with some JB Weld if you buy a new one

I wouldnt dent the replacement one because it can cause turbulent air flow into the engine and cause the CEL to come on just go with a better system and not one that was made by some 8 year old in taiwan...

Cheap things come from China...Taiwan makes the sophisicated, high-tech stuff that requires money and effort.
