Default Intake hose

Is it possible to fit a silicone intake hose (OEM size) without removing the inlet manifold on a newage STi??
Not mechanically minded at all lol and need every penny at the moment (baby due anytime) so can't really afford to have someone fit it.

Thanks
Bernie

Yes you can, bit tight, but can be squashed, takes a while though. I did it on my classic.

I have fitted 2 types on newage cars without removing the inlet.

First one being an Autobahn 88 item, this was a gift as it was so soft it just squashed into place, easy fitting but very poor quality!

The 2nd one i did was a Viper item, this took alot of effort and 2 of us. The Viper intake is very stiff and there is not much give in it at all. Hard to fit but a great quality item.

I have a perrin which is fairly straight forward to fit, removing the standard item wrecks it though (but then, I didnt care!)
