I am kind of curious on how to install an intake for my car. Now, I have the stillen intake and I want to put it on my stock hoses. Where do I start it from, and what do I have to take off from my stock intake? somebody please help an old altar boy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I installed a Injen intake on mine but I'm sure it's the same. I started off by taking off the stock air box (which holds the air filter), I think there's like 2 or 3 maybe 4 screws that hold it in. Then loosen the hose clamp near the throttle body, disconnect all hoses and sensors (3 hoses and 2 sensors I think on s14). Then just remove the stock intake. Oh yeah, don't forget the pipes going from the air box to underneath the wheel whale. I dunno about your application but I ordered the cold air ext., so all that piping was replaced with that. If you don't have cold air ext. I don't know if you keep it there or just remove it. Probably leave it there to help get a little cooler air to the filter. But just be sure to connect all sensor back or the intake won't work from what I've heard.

The Injen intake comes with less than helpful directions...
For $180-ish, I expected a nice manual, but no... a 6 page fold-out map-looking thing, with 3 little pictures...
But it's easy. Just dont cut too much off the hoses, or you'll cry. Ohh.. and the holes for the air intake sensor, or whatever is in the stock airbox that the car NEEDS to run right didn't fit well, and I had to drill the mounting holes a little larger.
Other than that, listen to Gizmo...
