i thought u were against ppl who r cheap on their cars?
My stance is against dumb people has stood since 1985 anyone can be a consumer, few can be innovators, so for all those who feel bad because you over paid someone else with intelect to make your car faster my hat is off to yall. Because one day I will sell t-shirts with dumb slogans, and you will buy them. So I am glad yall remain sheep, a slave to name brands and athsetic qualities

indivual filters for the vac line, the bent part is a 3 in mandrel bend, I deleted the 2 tubes that ran to it vac and coolant so no excess oil evaporation will enter the tb

the only way pretty can be used to describe my cai is "pretty functional" I could care less about how the raw steel looks, it's covered by the pearl white hood, which i waxed, a day before it snows, ie today in the heart of Tx wtf?

I do, people like my car, its the only one like where I am from, plus people are more respectful down here, if you walk up to someone and there with their boys nothing negative comes from your mouth, unless its about someone more than 50 feet away that its trying to do a burnout or something else stupid, my friends like what I do, they make a face if its kinda funny looking but they keep it respectful knowing I made it

I bet everyone on this forum never tell me one negative thing about my car if we met at a car meet, One my car is nice and not over done, 2 I am a nice guy, everyone want ot be my friend, 3 I look like I can kick someones ass with ease. The fact every is a faceless critic on the forum allows me to disregaurd negative feedback, fueled by jealousy and ignorance

LOL no. no one is jealous of that thing you made. or ignorant of the fact that any name brand or even an ebay cai will flow better than your homemade version whether it be your ultimate pvc cai or this one. its your arrogance that rubs everyone the wrong way. you make the ULTIMATE something without showing any type of proof of its "ultimateness" and put everyone down for by name brand items that actually work.

I like my 4" P2R just fine!



4" small P2R Filter I just replaced with a large 4" K&N





I think it's great you did it yourself and I understand it's frustrating when people attack your work but ethuggery is never the way to go.

looks like someone knows how to weld


and for those "vacuum" tubes, you should put them on, the big one is for the PCV system, then the small one is for the evap system (gas tank fumes) i think (can't remember right now)

so the PCV one is not absolutly critical, but just means one less filter that you have to maintain seperate

then the evap system, there is the possibility of it actually throwing the check engine light, because the ecu does not see the o2 responding right, (and it is only gas vapours, coming through that one)

then it creates turbulance , and if he can weld like that (or who made it), i don't think it will be a problem welding a simple fitting on
