Default need pics for custom air intake routed through the grille openings

ive seen a couple pictures from people who have reworked the air intake so the air comes in from the two openings on each side of the grille. a hose is sleaed to the lower air box and ran to the each side of the grille. anyone have those? i wanna try to do that sometime bc my air filter gets to damn dirty too quick, plus the IAT would be a little cooler comming in from the front.

Kyle, its Mike. I am putting mine on tomorrow just like what you are talking about. Im gonna be making some fiberglass ducts that attach to the back of the ducts on each side of the grill and then attach the hose to that.

I have already removed my front bumper support which you will also have to do.

I can do the whole job for you if you want from start to finish if you want. Just PM me. I have some pics right now I can show you.

Oh, ok. The price was around $15 I think. That was the hose, clamps, and ducts.

Search for SUX2BU or "SUX2BU intake". His intake is along these lines and many people were copying what he did. I'm pretty sure he posted a thread saying how to do it.
