<!--QuoteBegin-"alerogls01"@ Hey guys, I just installed this tonight and went for a drive. I notice after I ease off the pedal (after nailing it) I hear what sounds like air being 'released' sorta like a blow off valve, but not as loud. Is this normal? Another thing, the coupler that goes between the tubing and throttle body looks like it's made a little too long and is slightly "scrunching" up and pressing up against the IAT sensor plug. Is this normal? For all other tubing, they don't need to be touching each other inside the couplers right? It was a pain installing this thing at night with no garage, but no other time. Sorry if I'm being seriously retentative - I'm an accountant![/quote] <!--QuoteBegin-"Alerosince99" Just installed this today. Directions are pretty sound. Was a piece from the original air filter I wasn't expecting in the fender well but came out easy. I didnt remove the battery to get at that one bolt but did remove the headlamp and it was easy to get at that way as well. Looks great and definately a noticeable performance increase.[/quote] |

I got my stage 3R CAI today from Dr. Speed. I was gonna install it, but my pops talked me out of it and told me to wait till better weather..i.e. spring.
But it came very nicley paked..with instructions etc. Everything looks great, and i'll let ya know how I like it once its on the car. |
Is there a filter on this, and if so how do you canhge/ clean it? I might get one too
And will someone post a pic of an alero with one, that doctor speed pic is of a grand am, do you have to keep that plastic black ribbed piece, to navigate around the battery. How does it work? |
how much of a bend is there in the pipe?
can u take a pic of it not installed? |
2 bends: 45' and 90'
Comes with 7 inch K&N Filter i believe. to clean, use k&n filtercharger kit (10-15bucks) to get at, remove tire, fender liner and pop the cone off. ALL old air box comes out |
oh, and the pic of it on a grandam is how it will look in the alero...same engine, same compartment, same car practically
|
i thought 90 degree bends were bad?
|
typically they are, but the piping is all mandrel bent polished aluminum....not rubber or plastic. Also, compared to our stock airboxes, anything is better. If you look at the stock piping, it is all plastic and rubber in spots. The stock plastic piping actually makes 2 90' turns.

"Well not to much to say that some one else hasn't. It was very easy to install. The direction were dead nuts on, except it didn't say to remove the bold from behind the headlight. didn't get to drive it much maybe a mile or two. You can realy tell when you put your foot down (sound wise). Only if it ran like it sounds. " |
hrm looks good guys, wonder if they ship to canada.
|
they do. go check out their website.
|
ah i didnt see where it said they did... but i ordered a stage 3r cai.
Ill give a review when i get it. ;) |
hey shox where in BC do u live?
|
Vernon, check your pm.
Also this exact CAI is 10 bucks cheaper on alerospeed.com than doctorspeed.com i swear they were the same company, i ordered from doctorspeed and noticed this after. ah well. :/ www.alerospeed.com www.doctorspeed.com |
Well, I ordered a Dr. Speed a while ago and today I finally had the time to put it on. I had read about others problems with sucking up water, and here in Vancouver we get alot of rain this time of year.
So I only installed part of the CAI. Here are some pics to give you the idea. |
As you can see its simply a WAI. So for anyone thinking of buying a CAI from DR speed, but would also like a WAI this is definatly the way to go. I only installed the first coupler and then attached the filter to the MAF.
It sounds great when you get on it! Heres an engine bay shot just for the hell of it. |
Hell of a job on that man :thumbsup:
|
cheers, I hope Dr.speed doesnt get mad....... :rolleyes:
|
Anyone got an opinion on the Cold Air Box that is coming soon. I was gonna pre-order one before the prices go up, but if the stage 3 gives better performance than that would be my choice. I'd appreciate any opinion.
