[cherrington17]

welcome aboard.

I think a different member got you beat, hes 15. (still not sure how he has an alero)

check ebay for an intake for the 3400. pretty easy to find, and even easier to install. :thumb:

Definitely check the "stickied" and "how to" threads... they'll answer alot of questions before you even know you were going to ask. :lol:

[Oldsnut]

[DOHC_tuner]

[alerored04]

shit. http://www.mpracing.org/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=17 try this one. This is what you are after.

[2.2l Monster]

You can go ahead and give it a shot but for 8.99 i dont know how good it will be.

[tonyboi261]

im trying to spend around 90 dollars for a decent one i dont need a really expensive one :/

[tonyboi261]

does anyone know anything about this one???? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-UNIVERSAL-ALUMINUM-COLD-AIR-INTAKE-SYSTEM-W-FILTER_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQihZ004QQi temZ140108121960QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotoh osting

[MixtapeMessiah]

why pay 80 bucks for something when the cheap one does the same thing, all ur payin for is the name. custom make u CAI for around 30 bucks and ur good, thats what I did, but ehh if u wanna spend all the money fuck it go for it...

[MixtapeMessiah]

But if u wanna do some cheap stuff to make ur ho look better, clear ur corners and remove ur door trim, theres how-to's how to do that shit.

[tonyboi261]

where do i get the supplies to make it

[2.2l Monster]

How do you clear your corners??

[MixtapeMessiah]

u buy that $8.99 intake, get another rubber connection and a straight pipe and run it down where that plastic intake piece runs down the fender and there u go cold air intake

[tonyboi261]

oh yea i got you ...i was thinking of just getting the $30 dollar universal intake and running it down there because it like stretches and bends however u want ...its my 2nd link..............u might want to search for that but basically take off headlight... heat headlight...take off silicone...open it... take orange crap off...resilicone.......but like i said search for it

[MixtapeMessiah]

its easy as shit to clear ur headlights, Id go with the oven trick cuz when I used a blow dryer it took me 4 hours to do one headlight. Just take care of the cheap shit first and save up for the more expensive shit, im still savin for the body kit my damn self lol

[2.2l Monster]

sounds easy enough

[tonyboi261]

so how much will a bodykit and paint be total

[MixtapeMessiah]

Depends on which body kit u want and what type of paint ur sprayin down

[MixtapeMessiah]

theres the razzi kit, AAS kit, Forbidden kit, and the OSV kit is comin out soon.

[tonyboi261]

2.2l monster i just saw ur myspace ur alero looks just likemine only mine has the "other rims" ......

[2.2l Monster]

kick ass! iam guessing yours in white then?? do you have anything done to your car yet??

[DOHC_tuner]

theres the razzi kit, AAS kit, Forbidden kit, and the OSV kit is comin out soon.

i cant wait for that dam OSV kit so I can install it on my girls Alero. She had the chance to get a kaki 99 V6 alero but choose to get a 2001 inline 4. Looks exactly as mine did stock. Same engine, interior, exterior, except she has the factory alero spoke rims. Since Iam good with fiberglass ive been thinking of trying to make the osv kit just for fun. I saw the pics of the progress and i got kinda of a idea of how to start. But i just hate the smell and inhaling that shit even with a mask.:p

[MixtapeMessiah]

Id just wait til the kit comes out, cuz im buyin that bitch soon as its available

[DOHC_tuner]

I wonder if the rear bump will look like the osv kit too? Question, is the chrome piece on the rear bump the muffler tips?

[pawzbear]

but fabbing your own intake with rubber tubing is GHETTO and you will definitely be harassed for it. Do your mods quality.. otherwise you will only regret it in the end!

oh yeh and welcome, btw.

[MixtapeMessiah]

I aint sayin do it with rubber hosing doll, Im sayin get the regular short ram intake off ebay..the rubber connection piece that u connect to the throttle body, get another one of those and run it down in ur fender to make it a CAI, who cares who harasses you, everyone on this fuckin site does it, so all I can say is get used to it cuz everyone seems to hate, but I rather save money for the same shit ur gettin on a 120 dollar intake that does the same shit.

[MixtapeMessiah]

yea those are the tips in the center, pretty sweet

[Daytona]

Welcome aboard!

[BadFrog]

If you don't want to go the make it your self route go with the chrome intakes one, but shell out for the 3 peice one they are like 50$.

[MixtapeMessiah]

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o27/aleroonchrome00/hondaxwing.jpghahahahahaha just dont go the do it urself route like this lmao

[tonyboi261]

wow what did they do to that del sol............i really havent decided on wat intake i want..... because the cai just seems like way more work .......but it would be a lot better...but it might be more expensive

[tonyboi261]

Depends on which body kit u want and what type of paint ur sprayin down

i want the aas kit (kombat i think) and i just want it the same color as my stock paint color

[DOHC_tuner]

I just want to warn you that the kit looks great but when you install it on your vehicle there are slight mishaps. I heard the cheapest to buy is on ebay but its mold is wrong and will look crapy when u install it. So check your sources and u get what u pay for.

[tonyboi261]

to put in a cai for 3.4 is it really necessary to remove the bumper??

[Cliff8928]

to put in a cai for 3.4 is it really necessary to remove the bumper??

Yes, only because of the insanely large stock resonator assembly.

You can get away with just kinda flexing it forward after you remove all the bolts and clips on that side.

[alerored04]

i got my resonator off by removing the drivers side wheel and bending the splash guard down under the brake. Then i went in with a cut off wheel and let that bitch know what i thought about it.

[BadFrog]

I didn't take off my bumper either, I went through the wheel well as well. maby took and hour to strip out the stock intake and put in a CAI

[Cliff8928]

I guess you could do it that way too... I did mine with the car on the ground and the wheel still on. It's quite easy to get the bumper off actually.

[adam337]

like cherry said I hold the title as Youngest member, 15. Welcome to the site. I was suspended before so i couldnt say hello =\

[Mr_Reed]

Welcome to the forum man!

[tonyboi261]

can someone guesstimate the costs of the mods i want to do??? so i can start saving up now.

cold air intake
nice new muffler
aas kit + painted stock white
lowering springs probably sprint
rims and tires

[natedawg9640]

there a more than a few variables there.... off hand... i'd say... 2500 to 2800... unless you garage job it...

[Headstrong2740]

yeah and if you want.. go to a local auto store (autozone or advance or whatever you have) and you can build your own intake system.. i did that and i like how it looks for now... Cleer your corners out and maybe paint the chrome bezel piece as well and while its apart put in maybe some LEDs in it to add some style when the car is not moving :)

Heres a few pics:
intake.. LED... corner/bezzel

[tonyboi261]

what do u mean make ur own??

[tonyboi261]

do they make it for u or can u buy the parts up there
