Technical Answers
Clear explanations for the questions buyers ask most often.
Fitment
What intake pipe diameter does TIC use?
Pipe diameter depends on the specific product and vehicle application. Check the product listing for the listed inner diameter, then confirm it against your engine bay clearance before ordering.
Maintenance
How should I clean the intake unit?
Inspect the unit at regular service intervals and clean it with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Let all parts dry fully before reinstalling, and follow the cleaning notes in the installation guide.
Clearance
How do I check throttle body clearance?
Before installation, confirm that the pipe clears the throttle body, hoses, and surrounding components with the engine at rest. If clearance looks tight, contact us for a vehicle-specific review.
