Short Ram Air Intake for Protege

If you buy a CAI you don't have to take it completely off... essentially if you have a 2 piece design it IS a short stack setup with a secondary extention (from the MAF). I never take mine off unless I know its going to be super rainy. It literally takes less than 15 minutes to do so.1998 Subaru Forester S/Turbo | Shaggin' Wagon

Originally posted by purewhitemp5yeah that protege one is junk I bought that one cuz it was cheaper than buying a new air intake tube. If you will take a look at the huge hole next to the nipple , the intake came with nothing to attach anything there ! Its just a big frickin hole !! I had to cover it up with a hose connector and some hose clamps. its junk!! The only thing good about it is it got me through state inspection. Now if you want an intake with all the bells and whistles and has all the proper hook-ups find a MX-3 cold air intake on E-Bay. Did I say look , I meant search cuz this one only shows up from time to time.

thx for the links cause i can never find anything for the 1st gens....
i saw on cardomain some guys actually used that protege kit with the L elbow which i assume will effect the air flow.
I found some "universal K&N filters" i wonder if those would work since they come in diff. sizes and i can jus get some pipe(s) and heat resistant tape to put the intake system together.
I don't if it's a good idea or not, but i'm sure it won't look pretty haha...
i'm sorry if i sound like an idiot but wat do the terms, CAI and MAF mean?92 Protege SE: Short RAM, Pioneer Sound System.

They're all the same crap really. I bought one off of ebay not too long ago similar ot the blue one. Now, I know that power gains on the 1.6 SOHC with this mod are pretty much less to nothing, but I still went on and bought it. It turned out to be total crap, since after removing the stock airbox assembly, the intake would be just loose, jumping around whenever I drove too fast, damaging the filter quite a bit from the underside. In the end, I went back to OEM.

the diff between a cai and sri is, essentialy, the cai isolates the filter from the engine bay in the fender well to have access to colder, denser air.
the short ram is basicaly a short intake tube w/ a filter...good for high rpm, although, since the filter is located in the engine bay, it will be sucking in hot air...
Both have benifits, but its mainly up to you.
Hope I cleared that up a little for you..

Originally posted by purewhitemp5Stay away from the expensive fancy filters like in the first link and also the Short Ram Intake in the last link its junk and universal fit to about 12 cars. If ya want to start cheap and cant wait for the MX-3 Cold Air Intake go for the filter adapter and filter in the second link. or custom make your own find out how by using the search button.
i'm guessing the ebay item will list the cai as "mx-3 cold air intake"92 Protege SE: Short RAM, Pioneer Sound System.

i'm kinda tempted by the one that Jho recommended, http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1
but i guess jus modding the "L" elbow with a bendable plastic pipe will probably solve the unsmoothness of the air flow.
what do you guys think?92 Protege SE: Short RAM, Pioneer Sound System.
