Best way to better my C.A.I.
Best way to better my C.A.I.
I have no fog lights on my car, someone removed them long ago and to the best of my knowledge it must have been someone who knew about getting cooler air into the intake. Well I'm in the mood to do some more work on that. I was thinking about buying 2 bendable tubes (such as the dryer ducts) that will curve from the fog lights area up into the K&N's I have. I have the Y set up so I'm looking to help the air become more streamlined into the intake. As of now I have no problems but this is just another one of my DIY mods.
Anyone with info on the parts & the exact amount of stuff I need to have to do this is greatly appreciated. I'll try to post a picture of my current set up without the fog lights.

This has been covered hundreds of times. If you want to be cheap, get some 4" (I think it's 4"...) dryer ducting and from what I remember reading many months ago people said that it just held itself in place. If you want to have a cleaner install but make it require A LOT more work, go buy some sheet metal and either weld up some boxes or just use pop-rivets and silicone.
If you do a search for "ram air" you will likely find all the info needed.

Re: Best way to better my C.A.I.
I was kinda wondering about this same thing for my gta. I know the sexy pick is to cut a hole and mount it under the car for a true "cold air intake" but where I work is dusty as hell in the summer. I can't see that being a good idea. I may just leave it in the engine bay as a "hot air intake." What do u guys think?

I saw a very cool CAI setup on a mid 90s mustang. He had a plastic honeycomb style air box mounted on the passenger side lower bumper (right at the bottom) It then ran up to the engine. I think it was a kit of some sort but I can't seem to find a pic online. I thought it would be cool on a f-body it looked really sharp on the car and a dual setup would be even cooler.
