Need Tips on Removing Intake Tube

[DMcBrideBoston]

There are 3 or so little clip type things I need to take off to remove my intake tube, I can't really tool around with it for more than 5 m inutes at a time as I am at work so any direction would be great. In case you wonder why, I am trying to install the LSK Tube, so I can feel the benefits on my ride home tonight after work, and its a hot 47 degrees out now...no time like the present..

Thanks

Dave

Yes I have, it's the clips that hold # 3 on that I am speaking of...

I think # 12 is what I need to do, I hope...just don't wanna break these :q:q:q:qers...lol

squeeze really hard, and wiggle it off. there are textured parts on opposite sides, squeeze them at the same time. #3 was kind of hard to put back on, had to shave the hose where its going to go into the intake a little, wouldnt do it at work unless you have a sharp knife or file. maybe it was just me, but you never know.

I have a sharp knife and alot of other tools as well....

Thanks for the idea...

I am gonna take a lil break and run out there and try to take the whole tube off.....then I'll take another break later to put it on...

Like I've said before, I think its the best mod for our cars. The intake is louder than the Magna-Flow exhaust so if your looking for the exhaust to be abit louder, go custom. At least from inside the car it seems louder.

Thanks for the tip...I am going custom. Custom Mandrel bent 2.5" with Flowmaster 40's.

i thought the magnaflows were plenty loud, but thats my opinion.

Some people have that "BOOM BOOM" mentality that they HAVE to be heard a mile away or set off car alarms, or even get people to "want to race"...

Not that I understand that mentality, but it's out there

that powerful growl...= badass
