hey i bought a intake tube the 3" one specified in other posts
i got a cone filter from walmart and a piece of pvc connecting rubber and put it all together where my stock air box was
but yet my car does not get a deep sound it still sounds stock
any ideas what the fuck could be wrong with it? or what i did wrong?
and where can i put that sensor from the airbox

From the description, it sounds like you might have too sharp of bends in your piping. Can you show us a picture of how you set it up? Because as soon as I stuck mine on there, I noticed a bit more pickup, a deeper sound when I tromp on it, and from milage calculations, SLIGHTLY better gas milage.

I drilled a hole in the back of the cone filer's housing and screwed the intake temp sensor in there. I had to extend the wire connections for this.

I have a different version of the 3.8l engine than you, but I know a few people who have successfully made them for thier 3800's with excellent results aswell.

What kind of sounds were you looking to hear from your car?

mine has about the same or less of a bend than yours has
i was looking for a deeper sound like when i put it on my friends civic
or atleast a noticable sound when im driving as it is now theres no differance in sound maybe very little

well mine defiantely doesnt sound like uncageing an angry lion when I open it up, but it defiantely sounds better than stock. I am not quite sure whats different about your setup than mine though, because I quite like the sound I got out of my CAI. I know a lot of civics actually sound very loud with a CAI, but a civic just isnt an oldsmobile.

take off the foam insulation under your hood, if you have it. The insulation stops a lot of engine noise from getting out.

Walmart filters are shit, Get a K&N Xstream or go stock IMO.

Maybe a high flow filter from RiceHQ (AZ) but I would just go with a RX-4750 X-Stream


You need to use a silicone reducer, nothing else for where the pipe connects to the TB.

If you purchased the correct pipe (92-00civ and 94-00 teg) you should be alright but you MUST cut 3" or so off the long end since it will be too long.

I'll show you what I did:











A heat shield is best but make sure to watch it since these motors flex...here is a video of a L67 person:
