DIY: STILLEN G3 Intakes

bplourde · 08-23-2010, 07:57 AM

I broke a bolt this weekend during install (specific bolt is in the pic below, it's the bolt that holds the passenger side rubber/plastic piece onto the top of the engine).

1) I am dumb, what are these parts known as so I can describe it to a dealer. It's the rubber/plastic piece that clamps onto the intake tube on the passenger side... I don't know what function it serves.

2) Anyone have a recommendation for finding bolt replacements? Dealer? Hardware store/Home Depot?

That plastic piece can actually slip off (away from engine) so you don't have to unscrew the bolt. Did you round the head on that bolt, or snap the head off?

Snapped the head right off. Luckily it didn't break flush with the engine so I was able to back out the bottom of the screw with pliers. I think I found the specific bolt that I need but it's $5+shipping so i'm thinking Home Depot may be a better option.

Just finished my Stillen G3 install. Pain in the *** to get the passenger side tubing to line up and DAMN the filters are tight in that space they sit in... Also, scratched the pipes up pretty good getting them through the holes

Took me 2.5 hours and im very mechanically inclined. If i had to do it again it would be about 1.5 - 2 hours probably.
