I am 16 and know about 2% of what there is to know about cars
but I do know that nothing under my hood should look like something under my sink ( or in the case of that ricer website, toilet )
Hey, i made my own FTRA for 17.00 and it works great! home depot- 3 sheets of sheet metal and some screws. and a few hours to get it right. im dead serious here. its def not a ricer mod.

Way to show a newer member how great of a site this is, let's all bash him for wanting to see what talent people have making something custom. Good job guys. Instead of jumping down this guy's ***, you could've just left the damn thread.
Back to the actual topic:
Arenberg, It's a very good idea with these DIY CAI projects that for some reason or another is associated with "tuners." In my opinion, as long as it's done right (taking air flow into consideration and what not) it can be done to not only look nice but also be a great addition to the performance of the vehicle. Personally, I'd be afraid of using the PVC because (atleast as I understand it) you'd have one piece fitting inside another, which I would think cause a bit of turbulance for the air rushing in. I would think that's why the mendrel bent pipes are so popular, because it's all one piece and shouldn't create as much turbulance inside the tube.

Also have seen the genuine PVC intake before. It was like 4"- guy cut a hole in his CRX bumper and ran it all the way up to his intake. He was an idiot, he thought his CRX could take my Chevelle. His go cart couldnt even beat my buddies Ranger.

and if you dont think i am right than go ahead and throw some c02 at your engine and see what happens.
C02 and N20 are 2 totally different things
Meissenation- You stick up for all the newbies, and thats a good thing, i know you take a lot of heat (undeserved by the way) about your V6, but you need to draw the line somewhere. The kid thinks he knows everything and i've been messing with him a bit (if I ever act that cocky you all can flame me just as bad). And so far I've only seen ONE custom air intake that looks like it was done profesinaly, and we've all seen a ton of ricer mods that are completly half-assed, so i stand by my statements and my jokes.
Its all in good fun, and I am sincerely sorry if i hurt anyones feelings

symbol. Thats why some responded the way they did. If he hadnt put that, then you could say he was truly looking for custom jobs on the cheap, which I am totally for if they work and dont look rigged.

Now someone correct me if I'm wrong, but nitrogen oxide is used because it is more stable than pure oxygen, so it is a better/safer way to get oxygen into the engine. The oxygen itself does not burn, but acts as a catalyst which increases the speed of the reaction. The nitrogen doesn't actually take place in the reaction. CO2 does not have the same properties as N2O, so it does the complete opposite.
