Home-made CAI
 

So I went ahead and spent about $30 for everythin used in this kit, all I had to do was cut a 1.5 foot piece of pipe, fill it with sand(which helps to prevent kinks), packed the sand REALLY tight, heat the pipe up, and bend it to where you need it. I used 3 inch sched. 20 pipe, then I scuffed it real lightly, prepped it, and painted it satin black. It came out pretty good, I just have a problem with the hood hitting it when I close it.

nice...looks good

yeah man thats all you need!!! and CHEAP!! Looks Good. even better then my 15 dollar Ebay one!! haha

Yea buddy! That was the whole Idea(cheap, yet effective lol). I dont know how K&N gets $250 for their CAI's, its rediculous.

Wouldn't the bottom ridges effect flow though?

Not trying to be a D^%k, just wondering....:jerkbowdown:

Looks good though, so if it helps, that's awsome:Funny_Smiley::sCh_eleguitarist:

Im not sure....in theory I think it would affect flow, cant say for sure, all I can say is I can gurantee you that it flows alot better than the factory "donkey dong" with a k&n on the end lol leaving bass pro last night I spun first, AND most of second on 295's, which ive never had happen in my car from a launch. IDK if the intake had anything to do with it, or it was just cold out, the road was cold, and my tires were cold, OR a combination of everyting lol. I was EXTREMELY suprised lol

Sounds like it's doing something then:crazyhi:

FYI I can spin my 275 KDWIIs right through 2nd when they're cold and they hook at 3500 RPMs into 2nd when hot.... :goodevil: But they pretty much hook immediately if I leave @ around 2500 in 1st...:vroam:

Haha thats pretty good, im runnin 295 nitto invos lol maybe my car just has no nut. it does have 170k on it lol
