I was able to put this whole thing together for $28. Not sure its really any more cold air than the stock, basically drawing air in from the same spot, but with the open element should help it inhale a little better. At the very least it looks alot better than stock. What do you think?

 

Heres the side view.

 

man that looks impressive....wonder if I should do that..looks awesome

 

Looks alot nicer than the other homeade ones I've seen! What did you use for materials? Where'd ya get them?

 

Well I guess to be literally correct its not entirely homemade more like pieced together. I found that canister with the air filter element on ebay its a OBXRacing or something was the name on it probably made for imports, then it was 3" aluminum tubing with a 45* bend. I had a hard time tracking down a 3" connector. Finally found one 3" x 3" at Vic Hubbard, couple hose clamps and I was done.

 

Very good job. Looks very nice

 

I'm impressed. Looks very good.

 

Have you driven the car since it was completed, have you noticed a seat of the pants difference? Nice job all the same.

 

I wouldn't think that allows anymore cooler air than the stock one. The true CAI is placed outside of thre engine bay.

 

you will notice a bit more if you put it outside of the bay...this of course requires some more work though. looks nice.

 

your motor is impressive, what intake is that? Can't make it out.
