Question....why are you using the parking brake to stop your car?

Here is a how-to for the 3.0L intake...

I used mine to slide around corners in the snow or lose gravel. never worked good enough to stop the car even when in Netural it would like to move.

Are you putting the car is 1st gear? If you have it in a high gear, it will still move.

if you have your brakes adjusted correctly and the ebrake still doesnt work, then you prolly have a stretched cable. i have never looked at mine, but there might be a slack adjuster on it, that you can tighten.
