Default BBK Cold Air

Does anybody have pics of a detailed intsall of a fenderwell installation of a BBK Cold Air Intake?

I just got mine yesterday and when I ordered it I was thinking it was going to be a piece of cake but it turns out I've got to take the fender off and do al this extra stuff I didn't know I was going to have to do, I'm starting to think that I should have gone with the K&N.

Is it a bitch to put in?

How long does it take?

I've got a '92 GT vert if it matters.

Any input is highly appreciated, thanks.

take the fender off? i dont think so

if you have your old intake off just assemble the tubes and rubber necks. the filter inside the fender can be accessed if you lay on the floor and have a buddy push the pipe through the inner fender opening, then tighten down the hose clamp.

I have a AM version, its the same thing as my buddy's BBK, You dont need to remove the fender, just all of the stock stuff. Instructions should say to just go under the car

The BBK and the Mac fenderwell unit are both basically the same.

Here's the installation instruction sheet from my Mac unit.


Had I not changed my hose connections from blue to black it would be hard to tell the difference from the BBK and the Mac IMHO.

Mac
