Default cheap cai upgrade

tried a few things in a couple days. both turned to work out great but im keeping the stock piping and just added a filter. when the weather gets better im gonna make a svede intake.

i decided i didnt need a big intake filter and the small wedged one was good enough for now. gonna try to fit it in between and behind the kidney grills this summer when i take the front bumper off. try for like a corvette type cai but thinner to fit throught the radiator and framework.

let me know what you think. it definitely pulls harder and sounds better.

Yeah you would have been better off putting a K&N filter in the stock box and cutting out the bottom and fender side for more air. Thats what I did and works fine w/ my cam
