so i checked my air filter today, was dirty as shit. and i went to go buy a new one, they are very expensive. and a thought poped in my head as i looked at the stock tubing. so i did it, i bought an 3 inch apc high flow filther, pulled my air box out, and stuck it on the stock piping. so it pretty much looks like an intake with the stock pipe. its ghetto, but it sounds hella good.

anything wrong with this?

 

if it works, i don't see anything wrong with it.

 

nice, nothin wrong w/ a little ghetto SRI while tryin to save up for a real one...not nearly as bad as when i had my 98 maxima and hacked my airbox (talk about ghetto). I definitely drilled some large holes into the bottom of the airbox and popped in a K&N, it definitely improved the sound and the performance was a little better.

 

does it securely hold in place? only concern i have is that it touches the engine block and get melted or lit on fire.

 

no its right where the airbox was

 

I seen worse. I had a friend that had a homemade one from stuff he bought at home depot. then it melted with in a 20 mins

 

That's pretty damn ghetto.

 

i think its fine right here

 

hahah oh man memories. i did that to my '95 accord coupe before i got laughed out and got a cai. if u dont mind it then keep it. just dont power wash your engine without a bag over it.... trust me.

 

the only reason i did it was becasue it was cheaper then gettin a new stock air filter, and better

 

Nothin wrong with it if it's practical

 

nice job
you still cant go wrong with the $20 ebay intakes

 

yea ill get one eventually

 

ill be honest, i kinda like it, its so loud, especially when the vtec kicks in

 

If you like it.

 

LoL thats basically exactly what i am doing right now but i have a piece of aluminum tubing to move it down near the battery. plus take out that resonator thing in the wheel well man
