airbox mod

so my car was in a wreck and im running round with no front spolier and a beat up LF fender
well im getting so much wind drag that im lucky to be getting 140 miles to my tank.
story is one day me and my freind were looking under the hood of his 03 v6 stang and were looking at his intake, and i said something like you know, if you cut it where it just shielded the heat from the motor with more air coming through it would be better.......

so then a couple days later im looking at this big cylinder on r car they call a air intake and think about the idea i had previsously on his car, so i pull at a grinder and goto work on the thing and when im done, the only part left is between the filter and the egine and the front is left wide open to tak in much air!!
so on my first full tank of gas, (that i just filled up tonight) i didnt have to fill up till 190 miles!! i was like OMG 50 miles gained to my tank!!

grant it b4 my car was wrecked i was pulling 225-240 out of it
