I am glad you asked. Those are Chrome Wire Loomz from Streetglow. They were put on over my old black looms and some random cables and etc... I am so pissed that Streetglow decided to stop selling them, they were the coolest car accessory for only a few bucks. If they still existed, I'd have them on every single inch of wire loom in my Scion. Probably chrome, instead of red chrome though, cause the Scion is black. Anyways, thanks for asking!!!
It depends on your setup. For most naturally-aspirated vehicles, a short-ram is way better. However, if you have forced induction, you want a cold air. I should have put a short-ram on that Chevy, like I did on my Scion (video on my channel somewhere), and the short-ram is waaaaaay better for engines with no turbo, supercharger or blower.
hey, i bought the same intake and i lost the screw extensions that screw onto engine for the new penulum to fit.
Is there any way to replace these. i cant find a solution other then buying a whole new kit only for the screws, which needless to say. i dont want to.
Dude... that sucks!!! Um... well... if you try to go to a local hardware specialty store, you might be able to find bolts that will work... But they have to be exact same length and thread count... Ummm... did you try calling Spectre? If you ask nicely, which I have found to work best in most cases, sometimes they'll send the parts to you for almost nothing.
You have the jensen head unit right? Does it have an angle adjustment feature. I haven't put mine in yet, and i'm just trying to figure out how to get it to work the best it can. Did it hit the vents hard for a dvd head unit?
Where did you get the adapter for your dvd head unit, is the dash in your chevy blazer the same as in the 99 s10. I have the exact same head unit as you, and i was just wondering if you have any issues with the screen getting in the way of the vents or if it hits against them at all. So if you could hit me up about that. Thanks
The screen hit the vents EVERY time... lol... Theres really no solution to it... I would look into the issue more, but I had to sell my Blazer over a year ago... :'(
nice vid man, i have the same exact truck and i want to buy this intake. However, i was looking through some of your comments and noticed that you said you had a custom exhaust on the truck. In all honesty, in the video does that intake truly sound that good or did the exhaust have something to do with that?
If you have a subwoofer and a decent speaker system, it isn't too hard to seperate the exhaust from the intake sounds. My laptop can't do it, but the computer I made the video on can. The intake has a distinct noise that no exhaust could make. Also, I had the front windows open, and the rear ones closed, and the camera's mic was pointed forward. Believe me, it made the engine sound better, and made the exhaust sound better, but I don't have any video of the exhaust before the intake...
??? What? Really? You should turn your bass up a little... Its too bad I don't have it still, cause it sounded great in person. If anything, that sound you heard may have been the Cat, I didn't remove it so the vehicle would still be legal...
It was "last year's model", and was good for the price. I would reccomend getting a Pioneer at the least, maybe even a Kenwood if you really want quality.
I installed one on my 03 Sonoma and it is sweet, but i have one problem when i get on it hard from a stop it spits and sputers. if i bring it up a little easier it fine, do you have the same problem? any ideas?
Uuuuuummmmmm... Well, it seems like you aren't getting enough fuel with all the air thats coming in... ??? IDK, do you know any local mechanics that might look at it for free (or at least not that much)... Sorry I don't know more...
where do you download your music videos cause i have the dual indash dvd like that but it wont play the burned music videos from itunes and i burned then on a dvd so could you help me so i dont have to play them from my ipod and go check out my truck its a 98 envoy
You need a heat shield to keep the cold air cold! Also. only submit your comment once, it has to have my approval to show up. Plus, this stupid new layout is killing me!!!
Very nice blazer! i went with the super 44's dual outlet with mine and my radio wont let me watch video's while i drive, it makes me turn the parking brake on first
The key element to the intake is the smoother hose and plenum... It would work, and you might get a very small boost, but you also need to install a heat shield...
I have installed the CFM-Tech throttle blade, and I have a flowmaster super 40, also the Cat is probably blown out because its got 103000 miles on it!!! Otherwise, thats it!!!
This is awesome, I have a 2001 S-10 Pickup. Will this excact kit fir on it nicely? or will there be any problems? any miss fits? Please reply, I have been looking for the right video and the right product K&N is pretty good I hear! message back bro!
not sure if i already asked but i checked on mine and got 2 1/4 . flowmasters can come in 2.5 or 2 1/4 . which one should i go with is 2 1/4 to snug. i want to go out to 3 inch tips
yea it took sometime but they look sick. thanks man for the comment. i dont know if i asked u this a while ago or not . im putting just a flowmaster super 44 muffler on and i want the inlet to be the same size as the stock so i dont have adaptors. 2.25 or 2.5 i've heard different. mines 2000 blazer LS
Hey my intake seems to be "bogging" down when its under 1500 rpm. You said it might be a sensor but they're expensive to relplace. and you said it might be a leak in the intake; Where might the leak be occuring?
Well, if you damaged the MAF that would explain it... Or maybe something isn't plugged in all the way. To find a leak you will be able to hear a whistling noise.
If you unscrew the wingnut, remove the IAT and MAF, disconnect the harness and disconnect that 1 bolt by the 4 screws near the airbox (the nut holding the lower airbox), you can take the entire air intake system out in 1 piece...
What i did was also remove the grommet and install the IAT thru the grommet first, and THEN put the grommet in the plenum piece... Was a little easier.
LOL, seriously? I didn't mind it, because I had to fit all the old parts back into the box that the Spectre came in... Well, they kinda fit. But that would be really useful if you were throwing away the old system.
LOL Yeah. I ended up taking most of it apart anyway to get the MAF piece and threw all the original pieces in a box, but it was much easier to remove without having to remove the 4 screws, and just removing that 1 bolt.
ever have problems startin in the winter with the CAI. Also buddy of mine blew an engine in an ACURA AKA POS. His CAI sucked in a bunch of water and dirt. Blazer should be safe bein higher off the ground.
You are only safe from rain and wet roads... big puddles, snow, ice, mud is very dangerous. K&N sells a "filter bag" that covers your filter and prevents water from gettin in too easily. I plan on getting one at the first snow.
Just installed this on my 01 Chevy Blazer last night. Sounds great and looks good! Quick question though, does it take the computer a couple days to adjust to it? b.c mine seems to slightly missfire with it on right now. Otherwise its great
The computer adjusts after a couple of key turns (starts). If it takes more than a week, you may have damaged a sensor or have a leak in the intake...
No, not even with the hood open and my ear on the motor,... LOL
Also, I can't hear it if the windows are rolled up in the front and/or down in the back... I'm sure those behind me, who can hear the "flowmaster super 44" exhaust, hear it best...
checked spectres website they say there washable but you have to reoil them. i hope a cold air intake pays for itself and its filters cause i dont want to buy a new filter for $50 for each tuneup
Consider you save 1mpg. You get 100,000 miles out of the intake system before your car breaks apart... Thats (100,000 / 14mpg) minus (100,000 / 15mpg) equals 476 gallons saved, times 2.5 a gallon, equals 1190 dollars saved
what kind of improvent on the mpg do you think this would make. i know you said you would get a better filter so i imagine you mean a more restrictive one to trap more dirt. which this would negate some of the mpg. right?
my blazer only gets about 17 with no cargo and not pullin anything. thinkin u get about the same stock but i looked on autozone and it says it improves mpgs
The factory says they get 14mpg... Mine gets less because of the chip and my driving style... However, the cold-air will increase MPG a little, maybe by 1 or 2.
is your blazer a loaded option for that year or just a bunch of mods? i got a 2001 and it doesnt have the dvd player. and the lines for the coolant are rubber and yours look like copper.
Its a 2000 LT, the lowest option. Those are chrome-plastic red wire loomz, I would have the entire engine bay converted but they cost too much. The 7" screen was installed by me.
I like it! I have a 98 blazer, I plan on getting a CAI. I don't know if its worth the money to get an inexpensive knockoff from ebay, or to get an expensive one like this. Also: Rob Zombie is beast.
Its totally worth it to get a good product when you are putting it under your hood. The Spectre is good as, or better than, the K&N, for a lot less price!!! Getting this Spectre intake is worth every penny!!!
What are those smaller red hoses?

The computer adjusts after a couple of key turns (starts). If it takes more than a week, you may have damaged a sensor or have a leak in the intake...

can u hear a difference at idle with that intake or is just above 3000 rpm
oldsmobilcherrybomb 2 years ago
No, not even with the hood open and my ear on the motor,... LOL
Also, I can't hear it if the windows are rolled up in the front and/or down in the back... I'm sure those behind me, who can hear the "flowmaster super 44" exhaust, hear it best...

dual flowmaster or just one ?
oldsmobilcherrybomb 2 years ago
? Dual? They don't make true-dual systems for the Blazer...

as a kit no but an hour or 2 in a metal fabrication plant you can :)

checked out replacement filters on autozone
$50 for a filter seems kind of pricey are the filters with the cold air intake washable?
oldsmobilcherrybomb 2 years ago
That is alot! But I think its washable considering it is the same style as K&N filters... The manual doesn't say...
PowerSports420 2 years ago
checked spectres website they say there washable but you have to reoil them. i hope a cold air intake pays for itself and its filters cause i dont want to buy a new filter for $50 for each tuneup

Consider you save 1mpg. You get 100,000 miles out of the intake system before your car breaks apart... Thats (100,000 / 14mpg) minus (100,000 / 15mpg) equals 476 gallons saved, times 2.5 a gallon, equals 1190 dollars saved

what brand intake are u using
oldsmobilcherrybomb 2 years ago
Spectre
PowerSports420 2 years ago
what kind of improvent on the mpg do you think this would make. i know you said you would get a better filter so i imagine you mean a more restrictive one to trap more dirt. which this would negate some of the mpg. right?
oldsmobilcherrybomb 2 years ago
Better meaning more air flow, like a Green brand filter
PowerSports420 2 years ago
better mpg?
my blazer only gets about 17 with no cargo and not pullin anything. thinkin u get about the same stock but i looked on autozone and it says it improves mpgs
wonder if it would make it around 19-20mpgs
oldsmobilcherrybomb 2 years ago
The factory says they get 14mpg... Mine gets less because of the chip and my driving style... However, the cold-air will increase MPG a little, maybe by 1 or 2.

quadzilla chip?

What? Hypertech Power Programmer III

is your blazer a loaded option for that year or just a bunch of mods? i got a 2001 and it doesnt have the dvd player. and the lines for the coolant are rubber and yours look like copper.
oldsmobilcherrybomb 2 years ago
Its a 2000 LT, the lowest option. Those are chrome-plastic red wire loomz, I would have the entire engine bay converted but they cost too much. The 7" screen was installed by me.

nice
oldsmobilcherrybomb 2 years ago
got a few questions for you
how much the system cost
are filters hard to find or are they mostly universal
and when u drill into the radiator is that for a mount to hold the system on. cause it seems it would make more sense to mount it off the radiator
would minimize risk of leak
thanks for your reply

$149 at Autozone
They have replacements you can order
Its for the heat shield only

I like it! I have a 98 blazer, I plan on getting a CAI. I don't know if its worth the money to get an inexpensive knockoff from ebay, or to get an expensive one like this. Also: Rob Zombie is beast.

Its totally worth it to get a good product when you are putting it under your hood. The Spectre is good as, or better than, the K&N, for a lot less price!!! Getting this Spectre intake is worth every penny!!!
PowerSports420 2 years ago
Alright.. I'm taking your advice! Can't wait for it to get here.
