It looks like the kit in the picture wouldn't fit right on a 2gnt. Am I right?

That sort of looks like a intake I bought off ebay a year ago. It might fit but looks like you will need to move the battery a little bit. Sometimes also they use a generic picture for all their auctions. It looks like it could fit but hard to tell from that pic.

Looks like the one I also had. Mine fit as well with a little battery movement.

I just bought a intake off e bay. Im getting my money order tomorrow. i think it would be considered short ram air, but it will be better than stock. only cost me 30.05 + 12.00 shipping. heres a link to it, the seller has tons of auctions always goin on and really good feedback. these ntakes are always on ebays boards. if anyone has ever used this one let me know if you have any feedback. any mods to my engine to install is? thanks

I just got front & rear strut bars from that guy. He ships the day he gets the money. I was a little skeptical because the prices are so low, but they turning out to be pretty high quality bars.

i got a short ram that sort of resembles that and i love it. it's got the red filter with crome end also. It fit perfect for me and it runs great. Also sounds pretty damn cool. Also it puts off this very distinct odor. I smell it every time i get out of the car. It's not a bad smell though at all. Interesting though.

i was bored so i took some pics. i like the crome a lot. I noticed tonight when i took this pic that the pipe was pretty dang hot. I guess that's why you shouldnt use a metal pipe. Anyone else have this problem?

How do you secure the short ram so it is not bouncing around? I have on just like Blk95Talon's intake but I don't know where to attach the two metal strips. The intake pipe has no mounting tabs or anything except for the breather tube outlet.

mine came with a mounter on the pipe. you can see it in my pic above. it's right below the small yellow tubing.

Does anyone else have this generic type of short ram??

How did you secure it with the supplied hardware when there are no mounts on the pipe?

the long strip should wrap around the inkae and the l backet is what you bolt it to

yeah I used to have one made a cold air intake out of it also hehe. It fit a little tight but it fit. The battery bracket broke off it though, cheezy welding haha and wheel hop I suppose.
