Thanks to the idea of cltypeSLOW and Louie11.

This mod is actually true to his saying, and I spiced it up a bit with dual ram air. I have the 2 vents sealed to the tubing cltypeslow used so all the air that goes in lets say at 90mph. There is 90mph cold air shooting into the intake. And the differance in raw WOT is a major differance. From 60 to what ever you want is nothing but go! And I mean you can feel the pull back the whole way through... Not as tramatic as a turbo, but the way it feels when you floor it in 1st is the way it feels through every gear.

It is a little to ghetto rigged for my liking but I like the results! Not sure how long Im gonna keep it. Im lookin for and AEM CAI. I feel bad for doin this to my baby. Enjoy!

 

i wouldn't have done two, but good job, you should paint those tubes black, they might be too noticeable

 

WOW thats hardcore, props for doin it, wish I had the technical wherewithall!

 

There's another DIY for people that don't have the money for a real CAI. Good Job!

 

LoL, your avatar is hilarious.


Nice work with the mod by the way.

 

Niceeee!!! too big the opening isn't as big as you would like, huh?

 

I need to post pix of mine then....thats a pretty cool DIY

 

I can do it BUT!!!!!... With air THROBBIN through this sucker like this! Unless its Turbo.... You cant beat it!!!!!!!

TRUTH!

 

I think this is a great idea. To bad comptech din't make the ice box like that to begin with. Now if only some one could find a way to make it out of hard black plastic tubes like comptech. If some one made alot of them and became a vendor i think they would be rich. HINT HINT

 

I cant believe you did that to the CL....maybe a CRX or something....but not a CL

 

I shall post pics of mine tomorow.....

 

@ 90mph air...

Looks like it's about time for me to sell my 6spd and retire from the forum

 

Get a G35 and hit up this guy if you want to mod it: Interfooler

 

I swear this guy has to be related to the ROCKSTAR

 

...wow

 

Thread title says it all.

I'm with GM#1......

 

It's really not that bad guys... I would have probably stopped at removing the intake resonator and running a black hose to the drivers side bumper garnish (or whatever it's called).

 

:ghey:

 

I have no intention of ghetto rising my CL.

 

I'm gonna do the same thing but instead I'm going to run the hoses to my brakes so when I do my road racing my brakes will stay cool and never fade. I figure I'll out brake Elises and Z06s @ 90 mph.

 

I dont understand how some of you people have enough money to drop on a CL, but then dont have any cash to do shit right. I dont care how it performs @ 90mph, that looks terrible.

 

that 2nd one must have givin you like atleast 35+ WHP....dam son thats shits mad tight YO

that engine must be fellin hella fesh with all that fresh air up in that shit...nice MFin job...u should patent that shit for Reeel

I know its terrible... Im getting a real CAI in a week or so. Thats why I wanted to just try it out. Sorry guys and girls... I know I F!@#$% her up! This is only for the time being. But untill then.

 

Even though I don't see this mod in my future, I say good job. I like seeing people trying new things (right or worng). I personally am always looking for new ideas on here and its people like you that may just keep me interested in my CL and its possibilities.

 

Not the only one jumping ship

neat idea, but like others said it would be better if the tubing wasnt visible(like mine).

 

AEM CAI just ordered. Wonder what the differance will be like?

 

it would have been better with just one, let us know if you feel the difference which i doubt. you'll notice a nicer tone though =]

 

^very compliant to peer pressure i see.

 

sweet, 2 pages on a dryer vent intake. someone should give this thread a 5 star rating.

 

Oh God,

Greenie who's gonna jump first you or me?

 

ahaha here's my take for the third time. aem is less power than icebox, but i like aem b/c of the sound unlike the quiet icebox. but they're around the same price $250.

now ghettobox: if u remove resonator there's this humming sound (most annoying is at idle). so u add tubing to get rid of it and get more direct cold air.

what i'm saying is OF COURSE i'd rather have aem, but its not free like this mod (without tubing).

i bet if tubing wasn't added, no one would say anything about how "ghetto" this is, but once u add tubing it's game over.


aem>ghettobox in performance
aem>ghettobox in looks
aem>ghettobox in costs

 

my last post was actually directed to NEVERSUMMER. you just happened to have posted just before me. he

 

hmmmm...


LoL!...

 

Its sad, but CL's can be had for cheap nowadays.

As for the CAI, with all the piping that thing looks like a Hookah. That gives a whole new meaning to smoking someone in the CL.

 

Well Ive been wanting one for a while and since I just discraced my car with this stuff I just went and ordered it. I wouldnt say the peer presure got to me, just I wanted something and I had to ghetto it out to relize.

 

Its not really "ghetto", just something more economic and temporary, its not like u were gonna keep it on there forever, lol. Good job nonetheless And keep us posted on how you will like the AEM, and a comparison to your custom intake.

 

You know you'd be all for it if there was a kit that was "designed" for an intercooler.

 

someone should just make a piece of plastic to replace the resonator... cheap =]
