Default Going to install these mods when it stops raining. =)

Purchased a full Injen intake system made for the 93-95 gs 300. It doesn't have the blue or red connectors, since I wanted to keep it clean and luxurious.

This full kit comes with black rubber connectors, a polished injen pipe, maf adapter, filter, and injen heatshield.

Also jdm aristo circle emblems will be put on the side fenders near the driver side and passenger side doors.

I'll post a write-up in a few days regarding this mod. Thanks to ED at tlsperformance.com.

I will be selling my old maf adapter and hi flo filter in a few days so please pm me if you are interested in it. thanks

Cool

I got the same Injen kit, you'll like it and it looks sweet. I didn't use the heat shield looked to restrictiive I had to make a bracket to mount the pipe to the shock tower as it didn't come with one. The old vacuum hose was almost impossible to get off. Clean your throttle bodies while your in there.

I actually experimented with a civic pipe, but i wanted the real deal so I got this one. The vacuum hose came off easily for me with no problems when I took it off. Do you have pics of the bracket which u used to mount the pipe to the stock tower? Would I need one of those? thanks

I don't have any close up pics, yes you will need to extend or modify the factory bracket or the pipe will just hang there, not what you really want. I think I used a piece of a backstrap from a stereo and the factory bracket to make an extension that bolted to the stock location on the shock tower and to the maf as well.

Around 6/04 , No. I don't belive it came with any CARB paperwork or sticker. Might be something you have to request specifically or it hasn't been certified? Don't see why it wouldn't pass as it is only a metal pipe replacing the plastic one?

Good stuff, Bryan!

Yeah, definitely let us know how the Ingen compares to your Civic intake (sound, performance gain......etc).
