Default Will this kit work?

http://www.zex.com/Pages/125/Dry%208%20Cylinder.aspx

I found a hell of a deal on a used one that I want to hook up, and i have hooked up a kit just like it on my buddies honda, but my thing is, you have to hook up the box to an intake line....which our cars don't have....besides on the back of the intake. would I really have to tap the line into the back of the intake for this kit to work? Because if so I can definitely hold off until I can get a better kit.

Anyone running this kit on their car?

Zex isn't well liked around here. They certainly are out shinned by most everyone else on the market. Unless it is a really killer deal(then the concern is why) I would resist the temptation and get a quality kit preferably from our sponsors or something used from a good manufacture.

Used can be ok, I bought my kit used, but especially being ZEX I would be leery.

Its a hell of a deal, and i'm kindof on a budget, but at the same time I want to make sure it would work. If not, I can start saving my pennies for a better kit. I'd just like to have a kit before I leave for the military but its not completely necessary I suppose. I just see how much fun my friends have with spray and I feel like i'm already addicted haha

Always do it right the first time. Cheap parts rarely work out. If budget is that tight NX and few other sponsors have budget oriented systems. Pretty basic single nozzle that will get you spraying with not a lot invested.

Here is our mainline. Also you will have a forum discount on top of that. Pm me if it is something you would consider.

I will keep that in mind if I can get that much money up in the next few weeks. As of right now my budget is kind of low but im saving to build it up slowly and should have about 300 bucks to spend within the next 2 weeks.
