Air inlet ideas

[ClowesClause]

so i finally got the rest of my cold air in (b4 it was like a short ram) and its all nice and tightend down good....but im looking to put some kinda air inlet in the front of the car some where. the box that i took out of the space where the filter is now has some kinda inlet looking holes/tubes (the box was located infron tof the passenger tire in the wheel well...if u didnt know what i was talking bout)

im thinking of cutting one of these tube-ish things and putting it in the area in the grill to the right of the lower turn signal....im looking for advice if anyone has done/attempted this b4

Like that?
Or do you mean ducting from below the indicator to the airfilter?

[ClowesClause]

not a whole new filter, just kinda like an opening to the space where the filter is....id cut the space where the stock fog lights are but in BC it rains A LOT so i need some kind of shield....let me see if i can find an example

kinda lkike this

lots of rain like you said, and that area intake location, you're just begging to be hydrolocked.

[ClowesClause]

not like floods, i just cant cut an opening where the stock fog lights would go

mines in the fenderwell. bad idea. lol

[ClowesClause]

hydrolock aside....the box that was in the space, there is a tube-ish thing that led to the side of the fender...if i were to cut it off and mount it underneath MY fog lights would that do

i think i kinda answered mty own question lol

thats what i did . aem makes a water valve that catches the incoming rain before it reaches the filter .i made a ram air and in the air tube i made about 4 holes so water can escape before it made its way to my filter.

i've experimented a few times with this. Here was my old setup:


And this is how i'm running now:

1.5" diameter is really too small to get any significant amount of flow, especially with all those bends.
2.5" / 3" would be a better option and use flexi hose rather than PVC with sharp bends.
