Stutopia Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Got a shiny new CF intake pipe to go in, straight swap for what's in there, with OEM airbox and MAF retained. This is the sort of "add on job" my tech would usually do when the Zed's in for something else, but it looks like a fairly straightforward job so I figure I'll break out my sockets and get a tan. Is changing the intake pipe as straightforward as it appears, anything I need to be mindful of when I'm hitting it with a hammer after it has all come to pieces? Thanks, Stu.

14N Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Easy peasy lemon squeezy There's a hose on the underside of the intake pipe you need to be aware of, but I'm sure there'll be a location for it on your new tube, so it'll give you an idea where it's located.

Payco Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Simples but as 14N has mentioned there is a tube on the underside pipe that you will need a pair of pliers on to prise the clip open with. Make sure you slide it back on nice and tight. Its an easy job but the clip on the tube is a little awkward to access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) I think it looks ok? The new intake tube was maybe 1cm shorter than the previous, so it was bit of stretch at the top for the silicone coupler to be tight on the throttle body and the tube, but I think it's got there in the end. Not quite the 15 minutes I was lead to believe If anything looks weird or wrong, please do shout now, I need to drive her tomorrow!
