you remembered to oil the filter with the foam oil cleaner kit right? cause they need to be oiled or they wont filter anything.

i know this thread is old but if anybody is still looking at this, do you have to change the filter on this intake? or can it be recleaned n stuff.does it come with a cleaning kit?

 
Rep Power: 812

i just bought a second new filter for mine but only cause i dont have the time to clean the old one and let it dry before oiling. you must buy the WR foam filter cleaner and oil, because the new filters do not use oil. and both sides need oil. i would say every year you should clean/change the filter cause it gets really dirty due to the high filtration efficiency.

^^^ Agreed. Luckly, when i bought mine, it came with 2 filters AND the oil for it, so i can oil one up and get it ready to put on and then take the one I have on it Off and replace it right away. Works out great. I was lucky with the guys I got it from. They're actually on Ebay and do a great job. But yeah, 2 filters is the way to go so you don't have to wait when replacing it.

Great DIY, just did this and it worked fantastic. Did you have to extend your sensor wires?

 
Rep Power: 812

i had to, but the newer models have the sensor hole by the TB instead of in the middle.

 
Rep Power: 235

Hmm I still need to extend mine and I just bought it, it wasnt that bad to install other than extend the wires.

 
Rep Power: 0

i just bought this intake, do you think i will have to extend my wires and rig the temp sensor also?

 
Rep Power: 812

possibly, depends which model you got. most likely you wont have to mod anything. but you will know if the sensor doesnt reach the hole or is too loose.

 
Rep Power: 0

okay, so as of problems with the secret wr, the sensor not reaching or fitting are the only 2 by far? i take it as its good by all of the positive feedback, the big brown truck will be dropping it off on tuesday =) install will be saturday so i cannot wait!

pretty much, except you may need to make a custom mount to the cruise control box to hold up the pipe cause the one it comes with is too soft and will bend over time. youll see when you start doing it i guess. its a mixed bag but eventually you will get it put on and love it. it wouldve been so much better had they made the dual pipe design and engineered the mounting better.

 
Rep Power: 0

okay hopefully i dont have to do anything! lol besides the mount part, thanks though!
oh its only the single pipe design? =/

 
Rep Power: 812

yeah they decided on our cars, dual pipe doesnt make any difference so they just made single pipe. lemme know maybe the newer style is dual. i think i have the very first design. the filter is basically the best part of the intake. i thought about getting a nicer fitting intake again like typhoon or aem v2 and using the WR filter, but they only come in two size 3" and 4" so if it wont fit then im screwed.

okay i hope i got the newest design, i bought it off racinglab.com so hopefully they are up-to-date lol but if not, its ghetto rig time!
good luck on gettin a nicer intake n puttin the WR filter on it, hope it turns out good

 
Rep Power: 812

well im prolly gonna keep the wr for now. its got a good design it just has too many wire ties and stupid stuff holding it on. heres the extra bracket i used.

 
Rep Power: 0

oh okay, where did you get the bracket?

 
Rep Power: 812

some hardware store. its just a piece of metal with holes in it. i used wire tie to secure the side you cant see to the hose clamp around the filter, the other side has a screw holding to the cruise box.

 
Rep Power: 0

okay so thats an extra bracket so you still used all of the brackets it came with? or you just replaced the one it came with with that one?

 
Rep Power: 812

thats the only bracket i have holding it now.

 
Rep Power: 0

okay, i just got my intake in today, and it came with 2 of those black brackets., ram air kit, and cleaning kit, is the cleaning kit the stuff you use to oil it? (its a green liquid)
and its dual pipe design also.....? lol
maybe i got newest model
the black brackets seem pretty sturdy

 
Rep Power: 812

post pics? i wanna see the dual design. mine came with one very soft chrome bracket that sagged after a few days and no ram air. your cleaning kit should have two solutions, one cleaner and one oil. i had to buy mine separately, its made by UNI for foam filters. mine are actually both aerosol sprays. but the cleaner is what you spray on when you clean it, then rinse with water and dry. final step is oiling, but they do not come preoiled so you must spray on oil (both sides) before using it. you have to use the special foam oil thats sticky.

okay, when you say "spray oil on both sides" do you mean inside and outside? i will post pics in a couple of hours when i get back from class
i found the UNI oil off ebay for 6 dollars (+5$ shipping) and just bought it...
do i have to oil it before any use? or can i use it for a week and when the oil comes in, take it off, clean it, and oil it?

EDIT: heres pics

 
Rep Power: 812

wow nice so they added the dual chamber later. what does the whole intake look like assembled? and yeah you need to oil the filter before using it otherwise it wont fliter as well. you also need to open the filter by removing the four screws and spray oil inside too. let the oil soak in for 5-10 mins at least.

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah i guess so
i will assemble it later today when i get home from school, right now im in my computer class lol
okay thanks, the oil should be here by next week and i will install next weekend.

heres a pic of it assembled, minus the 10hp sticker! lol

 
Rep Power: 812

ah so they moved a few things around and added dual chamber. thanks for the pic

 
Rep Power: 0

np, should i leave it assembled like that? or take it all apart and put it back together when i install it?
of course i have to take the filter off and clean/oil it
