Default LMS IS350 Intake installed (pics & vids)

Video Link Below:

My final review video: YOUTUBE

Photos taken are in order of installation of the LMS Intake. Took about 20 minutes as 5 of those minutes were spent figuring out how to put the clips back in.

Installed K&N filter to end of piping and inserted other end of piping into the throttle body. At this time you should thread the provided screw into the engine block a few turns in order to properly position the intake. Once positioned, tighten down throttle body end and then tighten down the engine block screw.

Reconnect rubber tube to intake pipe. Once I did this I realized the factory clip was too weak and the rubber tube could slide off so I replaced it with a strong metal band instead. See this photo and the next one for differences.
