K&N FPIK fitment with Steeda brace? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Tetsu · 01-21-2008, 01:06 PM

Just like the title says. How will this intake fit with a Steeda two-point strut tower brace? Can I make it fit? I ask because I just ordered the brace and wanted to get a new intake system as well.

if you have a propane torch( a good heat gun might work) and a 1" piece of pipe(or large socket)
mark with a grease pencil(or other marker) the position where the STB crosses the inlet tube
carefully heat the inlet tube (the flame doesn't have to be on the plastic)
while the plastic is still hot take and press pipe(socket) into the inlet tube
this may take several trys, take your time, don't burn the plastic, or your hands

this method is credited to another member on the registry, but i can't remember his name

there you go :THUMBSUP:

That works. I went a different route cutting some of the tubing. Search for my name and K&N it'll come up exactly what you need to do.

I have a K&N intake and was not aware that it wouldnt fit. I bought the brace and tried to modify it to work but it just was'nt worth modifing the intake and putting holes in my car for. Thats just my opinion....however i have seen pics and it looks great on the car! Just not for me.

Are there issues with the JLT RAI and the steeda 3 point strut?
