I made this CAI for about $20. its 3" PVC with a 90 and a 4" cone. the cone is directly in front of the foglight opening so i think im gonna slot it for more air flow. this thing is really loud, compared with the resonator removed.

 

if you're going to do a diy intake you should have done a diy icebox intake
i remember some guy who made one that worked better than the ct one.

 

whats an icebox one? link?

 

comtech icebox is a cold air you can buy.

looks like a nice intake you made but i dont know how well pvc pipe is going to withstand. i would paint it a glossy black or repaint it flat black again to make it look a little cleaner.

how well do you think pvc pipe conducts heat?

 

i think the PVC will hold up good. my brothers a plumber and its strong, and the glue joints wont move at all. yea, i might have my other brother paint it again(hes a car painter), but the pics brings out all the imperfections. i dont know about conducting heat, but i doubt it will conduct much heat

 

here are some teaser pics of my nitrous kit, didnt have much to do today. think im gonna mount it in the middle so i can open it through the middle of my backseats but idk yet




or

 

haha, looks good man! what filter u use?

 

thanks, i think it was a K and N but i dont know, it came with my brothers power pipe for his procharged mustang but he never ended up using it. is a 4" opening and prob. 9" long

 

as long as u used a good filter ur set, most would pop on a cheapo filter, i should do this in my spare time, wouldnt hurt..

 

yea, its really easy, just gotta remember about the 2 fitting but they were easy to put in. its really loud now, when it hitts v-tec she screams, are other aftermarket intakes real loud opposed to the resonator removed? i might do a sound/video clip later

 

Do I see Duct Tape?

 

haha, your not suspossed to see that. i need to get a 3" pipe to a 4" inlet on the cone. i looked all over and couldnt find anything soo i had to make do with what i had. i feel like a hack now

 

Redneck would have been the first word to come to mind, but whatever works for ya. lol

Better than stock I suppose.

 

well im not but whatev, lol i try my best, i couldnt justify $300 for an intake lol

 

cool cai.. it's very sleeper looking

 

i never liked how the pvc bend looks. it would look cleaner if u cut the ends off and put a coupler instead.

i just bought the same filter for my setup. 9" long 5" wide with a 4" inlet.

and those nitrous pics remind me of my old old old set up, had then it the exact same positions before. why isnt it hooked up yet?

 

thanks, the nitrous isnt hooked up yet cause its freezing out and snowing and sleeting. im gonna wait till april/may when its nicer out and my parents are going on vacation lol so ill do it then. i still gotta get a purge and gauges but im just looking around for a good deal. but really i cant wait to be sprayin, i know what turbo boost and supercharger boost feels like, but i have never felt nitrous yet
