i just got my new intake in the mail.
im sure its pretty simple
but i dont wanna screw up on install.
anyone got some instructions?

 

What type of intake do you have? I got one from AFE. I looks, sounds and performs great! It even uses the factory fresh air scoop to draw air in. If your AIT has a MAF sensor port I can probably help you out, I have some directions that I got with my AIT.

 

short ram intake system from maxspeed motorsports.

 

so i figured it out. but im stuck on taking the MAF off. the screws are some weird type, that i dont have the driver too. anyone know what there called so i can go get one

 

Yeah, hey I called a performance shop here in VA and they said to use those flat head screw drivers, you know like the ones they give out during promotions. The ones about the size of a flathead screw driver from a reading glasses repair kit. All you need to do is firmly wedge it between the points of the of the screw and turn, they come out really easy.

 

It's a security bolt so not every joe-blow takes it apart. You might be able to get it out with the idea above but otherwise try a local autoparts store and see if they have one. Or you could gently dremel out the head to make it so it accepts just a normal flat head.

 

Negative! I called eight car parts stores around here and they told me that there isnt an "inverted Torx screwdriver" to unscrew it. Just go ahead and do it my way.

 

I don't remember that on my Carbonio install, but I remember using the housing from stock if I recall. Seems odd.
