Getting a cheap ebay intake, and am gonna swap the filter. Heard the best about AEM's dryflows so far but not sure on the size. Can anyone confirm, I'm pretty sure that it's the 2.75 x 5" that will fit.


Also wondering about fuel system cleaners as part of regular maintenance. I just picked this girl up and she's got 185k miles on her. I've also heard there's no fuel filter...?


Last, any recommendations for spark plugs?

I'd wait til the pipe came in, then actually measure it. It's prolly a 2.5" pipe, but I can't be too sure. Unless, of course, the ebay seller says what size pipe it is.

No luck on the size of the pipe on the site.

there's a buncha different sizes there.. When you get it, do a rough diameter measurement,.. unless you have a caliper, then use that to get the pipe diameter

Nice, they have different lengths too. So, would a longer element mean more air flow?

I guess? but unnecessary on a D17.. I just measured the one that came with my AEM V2 intake, and it's the 3.5" inlet 5" element. Just for ***** and giggles, I measured the smaller pipe diameter on my V2, and the smaller pipe diameter is just shy of 2.75" (measurement came to 2.748") so the ebay pipe might be a 2.75" one

the fuel filter is part of the pump assembly i think. so don't worry about changing it.

and holy crap, 185k miles on an 01. i have an 02 and i just passed 80k

which one is the pressure regulator then?

I thought the regulator was part of the pump

Lol yeah, I have no idea how it got that many miles on it. Got it from my local mechanic (who I actually trust), and he got it at an auction.

So, I have no idea how the hell that many miles got on her. Doesn't burn a drop of oil though and still runs like a damn champ, besides that darn SRS light...

try resetting the SRS light and see if it comes on. Check that the seat belt connections underneath both seats are plugged in before that though.

If you turn on the car with those plugs unplugged, it'll trigger the SRS light and keep it on

You don't need to buy the SCS plug like the DIY article shows. It's only a jumper wire between 2 points. I used a piece of wire that I looped around and only took out one of the wires during the "disconnect scs plug" portions

Thanks for the help so far!

Anyone else ever use any fuel system cleaner?

I've used the STP complete fuel system cleaner. Kinda improved gas mileage by a little bit for a while

Chevron Techtron is always good.
