Cold Air Intake suggestions

[zMrManz]

So I was looking up some of the prices and I was wondering if you guys could confirm if I got the correct parts

AEM DryFlow

AEM Bypass Valve 3"

And as for the adapters I'm not sure. I found this one which would fit, but it's $25. Adapter

Or this one that fits the N/A Supra. Adapter

Would the N/A adapter fit or should I just stick with the $25 one. The price isn't the problem I'm just not sure which is right.

And as for the rest of the stuff, basically just the piping, I'm not sure where I would get those.

I know that the Spectre ones that most auto part stores sell fit the 7MGTE KVAFM, you do have to drill new holes for it though. Be sure to get the one that says it fits Mitsubishi's and some other cars. It's the one with the thick black spacer (like 1/2"). The other one (with the small spacer) works for the N/A afm

The $25 one won't work unless you cut off the flange, which you could... but you should be able to find one without the round Apex'i flange for less and no extra work involved. The N/A version won't work either. Check out the Spectre one BT mentioned.

Don't order anything else until you know the diameter of the AFM adapter.

When you know what diameter you need search eBay for "aluminum pipe 90 degree" and look for the right sizes... that easy.

This really is a very easy setup to put together and install. It leaves a little to be desired with regard to filter servicing, but it's nothing terrible.




Here's an adapter: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-...Q5fAccessories

Here's an inexpensive bypass valve that'll fit: Red: http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Inch-76mm-Cold...item3368ad54c3
Blue: http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Inches-Cold-Ai...item1e6447b794

(I prefer the AEM although this isn't a very easy part to f' up.)

Here's piping: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-OD-...item20b6148be1

(I like this seller's piping, nice and thick and the rolled bead is a bonus.) You may find that any piping you need isn't long enough on one side of the other, in that case you'll need to add one coupler and a short piece of additional pipe.
