This is probably a dumb question, but just to be clear, there are some other items needed to install this intake hose? Can anything be re-used from the stock setup? If not, can the clamps, etc. be purchased with the hose so you know that they're the right kind and size?

Thanks.

No dumb questions! :-)

The only thing you will need is a couple of hose clamps and you can get them at any hardware store. Once you get the hose you will see the exact size you will need.

Feel free to give us a buzz at 562-961-6800 and we will be glad to assist you with any questions. We are open M-F 10-6 Pacific and Saturdays 10-4 Pacific.

For max performance I would suggest going with the SILA Cold Air Intake. We sold out our fist batch pretty quickly, but more are being delivered later this week. We should be able to ship out any new orders by weeks end.

We will also be releasing a Steel Version of the same intake that is powder coated if you want to save a little money. The Steel Version will be available for only $149.99!

I purchased mine about a month ago when the first black were made available. Is mine the new design with the smoother curves?

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered the intake hose and some new Denso plugs for my 30K anniversary/upgrade. Hopefully, everyone's comments about low or no increased intake noise hold true for my car. Now, if I could just get hold of a quiet, center exit exhaust with a flex pipe...
