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 :thumb:

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.

Many thanks

Quality service :)

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