I bought a K&N CAI soon after i bought my car. It seems to suck alot of hot air in from the engine bay. I have always wanted to try a Cold Air Inductions CAI and recently found someone willing to sell one.

I was wondering if i could keep my K&N setup and use the enclosure from the Cold Air Inductions kit on the K&N? I am sure i could get it to work but was wondering if the alignment would be off

here is the CAI box and filter



thanks guys

Very good question. Seems like you would have the best of both worlds at that point!

I think I might try it. If I can't get everything working I guess I will buy some parts from cold air inductions to make it fit.

The guy is sellin pretty cheap cus there is a lexan peice gone and it is actually from a 3.9 monte so it doent have any of the tubing

fenderwell?? It would eliminate all the issues. And to those who talk about water in the engine..never had an issue in my Z28. 10 years and it worked great. 3 hurricanes and no water in engine.

"think outside the box" ? lol

A little off topic, can you hear a difference with the K&N Cai? Is it louder? I would love to get more sound out of mine.

it is a little louder. i have a throttle body spacer on mine right now and it made the intake really loud. The K&N is alot quieter than the Weapon-r intake i had on my old monte tho.

here is a drive by of my car. you can hear the intake

It should fit. I even swapped for a specter filter which is a bit bigger. With my hood closed i can hear a suction sound from the driver seat with the door open.

good to know Are specter filters higher quality than the K&N filters?

I forgot what my intake sounded like with out the TBS but i know i could here it sucking air. now it has a swoosh noise when i get in and out of the throttle with the TBS.

I personally think so, it also has an opening at the front that is also filtered unlike the K&N. So the air doesnt have to around to get into the filter just goes straight through it.

i might look into one of those filters. my one concern with k&n filters is they dont seem like they would actually filter alot. they are pretty thin

Yea thats exactly why i looked into something else, i think there is a big difference. I really recommend checking them out, i dont recall them being very expensive either.

xxtheshockerxx

do you happen to remember what filter you got. If I were to get one I think i would like one about the same size as the k&n

Honestly i got the biggest one i could find haha which is a little big then the K&N. It has adjustable opening for different kinds of cars. like this.

I did have to get a 3" extention tube to make it long enough though.
