New Cold Air Intake (Pics)

I redid my cold air intake yesterday, I have attached a few pictures of it. It has a 3 inch real carbon fiber tube attached to a chrome 60 degree elbow.

Re: New Cold Air Intake (Pics)

I might be willing to sell it. How much would you be willing to pay for it. I dont know what a fair price would be. I got the 60 degree bend at autozone.

Re: New Cold Air Intake (Pics)

yeah i have no idea either dont know anything about carbon fiber tubing. Plus it would be easier to just go buy some 3" exhaust pipe and cut to lenght.

thanks going to do this next weekend and see if it helps my 1/8th any.

Re: New Cold Air Intake (Pics)

I see alot of people who do this and I also see people who modify the other air boxes, the ones that go over the radiator. Which method gives you better results?

Re: New Cold Air Intake (Pics)

The ones that go over the radiator are only on a camaro, On a camaro it would be better to gut the stock airbox than to make one like this.
