**cbcelica** · 01-21-2010, 08:44 PM

**akley88** · 01-21-2010, 08:54 PM

he compared it off the pics of mine. mine is a K&N knock off.

**RWCustoms** · 01-21-2010, 10:37 PM

I also verified it off about a dozen other 1zz's of cardomain

Its from here: http://www.autogrimmig.com/servlet/t...lica-GT/Detail

and the filter it came with says HPS

**JUNKyardHOE** · 01-22-2010, 12:23 AM

send them an e-mail and tell them they fucked up and get a new one... the one that ak has I have as well (for the 2zz) and it was only 25 bucks :)

The $25 one is effective? Worth the money?

**akley88** · 01-22-2010, 10:19 AM

yeah it works. they just copy a major brand name. it is better to use a better brand filter then what they give u though

**RWCustoms** · 01-22-2010, 11:14 AM

When it comes to intakes the brand of pipe really dont matter. They will all pretty much b 2.5, 2.75, or 3.0 inches in diameter. as long as the diameter is the same on a cheap pipe as a name brand and the sensor position is correct then its going to be identical. All that matters is the filter.

**akley88** · 01-22-2010, 12:56 PM

the only brand that i havent seen a knock off is the weapon r secret weapon intake with the inner tube design.

**jons02gts** · 01-22-2010, 03:34 PM

ditto.

**flash240** · 01-27-2010, 10:23 AM

Hi flow air filter set ups are old news....if you are having this problem it is probably a quality issue with your part.......try using a reputable dealer like K&N i know HPS is supposed to be reputable but if it doesnt bolt on directly without too much customization?.....its crap plain and simple

good luck

**RWCustoms** · 02-03-2010, 12:02 AM

Good news. They finally responded. They will be sending me a prepaid label to ship them back the pipe. They say they will replace it with one that has a correct sensor position/direction. Ill update when I see what happens from here

**akley88** · 02-03-2010, 07:50 AM

thats good that they didnt just try to ignore you

**jons02gts** · 02-03-2010, 07:53 AM

thats a good deal.

**RWCustoms** · 02-03-2010, 01:20 PM

Member 01celiGtS just bought one as well and has the same problem with the sensor orientation. I think when these short ram intakes were made for the company the whole order was messed up. I think I just saved the company future grief lol

right after i approved the paypal transaction i saw this thread. lol I havent heard from them back yet.

**RWCustoms** · 02-06-2010, 01:16 AM

they took about 2 days to respond to me and about 4 days to send me a return shipping label. They will get back to you.

**JUNKyardHOE** · 02-06-2010, 02:00 AM

are you getting a new one or are you getting your money back?

**RWCustoms** · 02-06-2010, 02:14 AM

i sent the pipe back. They are sending me a corrected pipe

**JUNKyardHOE** · 02-06-2010, 02:32 AM

good times... I would have gotten my money back and gotten the cheap one that I did get lol

**RWCustoms** · 02-06-2010, 12:30 PM

if i wanted a refund they charge a restocking fee and I would have had to pay to ship it back. And it was a gift from my girlfriend so I wouldnt want to return it
