Well i've been talking about doing this for awhile, and I actually got it done like what... 2 weeks ago? just never posted pictures. here it is. feel free to ask any questions!

 

I'll start.....what did you use?

 

Fuel line its basically a hose with wire running through out it. Very durable and smooth on the inside. I cannot squeeze the "rubber" and it doesn't melt. after about a week or so, its still running great.

 

looks good, what size hose? im looking for cheap way to do this mod as well. how much?

 

I bought 2 feet of fuel line, ( over kill, but i wanted room for mess ups ) which was 30 bucks, the clamps I bought at autozone i think 8 bucks a piece? and I also got one of the tubes at autozone as well, they sell line by the foot i think it was like a dollar. and I just reused the stock emission hose on the top of the intake. I spent a little around 50 bucks all together.

 

what is the dia of the hose

 

i believe its 2.5" outsider diameter? I should've gone 3" but, no biggie, if I ever wanted to do it again, i can reuse the clamps they're 2.5 - 3" or 3" to 3"

 

I like that. Where did you get the fuel hose? Is it from a fuel delivery truck? How did you connect the pcv and air hose to the fuel hose?

 

I bought the hose from a place in Sacramento city called Capital Rubber, not idea what its from, they had alot of it lying around. I just drilled two holes, 1 half inch and i think the 2nd one was like 7/16ths? i dont even remember, then I just used the same size fittings in brass and connected the hoses, and clamped them

 

I just bought some 3" - 3" couplings from home depot to use for my isr, but as I went to clamp em onto my airbox and intake manifold they wouldn't fit. You said you used 3" couplings? So did you just clamp em down to 2"?

 

Sorry, but what does ISR stand for, and why do it? It is obviously the intake hose, but ?

 

were they 3" inside diameter or 3" outside diameter? a 3" coupling is not exactly 3 inches if that make sense. If you bought rubber or plastic couplings from home depot, they have 3" INSIDE diameter piping. which, outside diameter is like 3.25" make sense? your intake manifold is only 2.5 outside diameter, so you need something with 3" inside diameter, and pipe clamps.

 

Intake Silencer Removal. it increases sound... ( adds that Pshhhhh noise when under acceleration ) and some say it increases throttle response and gas mileage ( I havent noticed the gas mileage )

 

Thanks

 

yeah, I cant here the "air noise" unless im at the front of my engine, the exhaust is too loud.

 

Yah, that makes perfect sense. I just went out and measured (don't know why I didn't before ) and my airbox and intake manifold were both about 2.75" and the clamps I had were, as you said, about 3.25". So I'll have to go out and get some that are a little smaller. Thanks!!

And it frees up a little of the cluttered engine bay

Looks great. Capital Rubber is a great place, they always have what I'm looking for.

 

^^^^ lol yeah, buddy of mine from highschool works there. so its always nice that he cuts an extra foot and makes room for screwing things up. I had woodshop with him so he knows I F up on projects alot. lmao

 

Ok, so i have the fittings, clamps, and some 3" flexible exhaust tubing(it's pretty dang heavy though)... and I'm wondering how much you were able to clear the master brake cylinder by. My 3" tubing looks like it's gonna be cutting it pretty close....

 

Are your oil and tranny dipsticks hard to access now? I'm having that problem with my ISR mod. Checking the oil is a PITA. I used rubber couplings and a 45* piece of PVC conduit pipe from Home Depot.
