I was going to ask when changing out the injen I was wanting to know how did you join the hoses between the side of the engine and the left hand side of the tegiwa intake hose as when I switch out the injen I am not to sure what to use to join the two hoses

one of the reasons I was wanting to change to tegiwa M was I was just a little nervous about hydro lock on the injen as a couple of times I went through a puddle and the engine started to run slightly rough for around 30 seconds or so even with a hydro sock on it and up here in scotland it rains...

Hi pete while reading your build thread I noticed you had the injen cold air induction kit then changed to the tegiwa M as thats what I am about to do , was there a big differance with the roar of the exhaust changing to the tegiwa M and is the tegiwa M alot better than the injen ?

Hi mate I think to do it on your car exterior or wheels would require the plastidip top clear coat to make sure it does not peel IMO. If you scrapped you nail across the plastidap with a little force it will defo peal. so I would not put it on the exterior but if the clear coat was applied I am...
