So...some silicone connectors, a couple bends and some 4" alum and...

gonna get a piece of 304ss to cover the old airbox where the tube goes through...so for now, ABS will do.

Too many turns and bends. Better doing a custom ram air using dryer vent tubing. Proven 2-3 mph gain. I think you'll loose power over just a lid. I'm just going by what I've read online.

only problem is that dryer vent tubing belongs on dryers....i sell that crap at lowes, isle 10.

it doesnt feel any different power wise, but did drop IAT temps 10-15 degrees

it does look like a lot of bends and turns, but i think it looks cool. It just that "wow, thats different" factor. good job man.

looks nice man, but the piping is so big i dont think it would hurt it.

looks good. I had a 4" cai, the filter was located where the fuse boxes were. I switched to a lid and now I feel like I had better throttle response with the cone filter vs the lid.

it would be cool if you could do a dual cone setup

WHat the hell color is your car? It clearly looked red but the first pics look orange

Fury_786

its red...cell phone pics.

there really isnt room for dual filters, and that stuff isnt cheap either

I don't see the zip tie in the picture of it behind the bumper.

I'll have to say that's probably the coolest looking cai i have seen. Can you tell a difference in it over the lid? Even if you couldn't i would still keep it on

Looks cool where did you get all the materials to do it?

Fury_786

yes, !ziptie for sure

it feels about the same as the lid, but IAT temps are lower

got everything from businesses who sell on ebay...polished the tubing myself

ethomp

Well, you did a good job. And i read about the power and temp in the earlier post, so i have no idea why the hell i asked that.

Fury_786

thanks man

looks real good man. If I were you I would try sell them or sell the design to a performance company. Just a thought.

Fury_786

i thought about it, but like i said, had to chop on the car...most people get scared about doing that

but i do sell the front tube crossmembers

I'm a fan of different and new stuff. An not trying to put you and the 4"CAI down. But with that filter right there if you were driving the car in the rain, wouldn't that air filter get soaked in water? Maybe cause the to lock up or hyrdo lock. I'm not expert by any means but I was just wondering about that with the exposed filter or water getting on it any how.
