Beginner Intake Trick

[Blind_Sabotage]

The whole idea is making the most of what you got. Drilling holes isn't really that hard. Plus this way there is none of that annoying whistle that you get from cheap intakes.

I like hearing the intake noise. It sounds angry

I took a carpenters saw to the bottom of my airbox and it sounds angry alright, downright loud after the secondaries open up (f22a6)

all that cuttin is not needed just buy a damn cheap one from advance auto or auto zone there only 60 bucks

Well you can go to HomeDepot or some place like that and get PVC Pipes And Build your own cai.For pretty cheap

hahahh ebay intakes r like 20-30$ if not go buy a conefilter from ur local auto store (autozone or pepboys) and attack it to ur stock piping with some sorta smaller tube, maybe 2 3/4" tube hahaha works fine =P

Because the idea is to draw cold air in from outside of the car.Not hot air from the engine compartment.

expensive CAI's dont give that much of a proformance boost anyways.. me and my friend did that test (me with an AEM CAI him with a PVC homemade ghetto rig with a good cone filter) and they tested to be the same exact HP. the only thing i got out of my AEM setup were some stickers (which every ricer knows will add 50+ hp ) and a licenseplate boarder thing. PVC piping FTW.

Lol, I hate sticker boosters.
The only advantage of expensive intakes are kudos.

or just do the custom short ram trick and put a cone filter on the end of a 3" OD exhaust pipe fitting and tighten it down...voila! short ram...and no bothering with fitment issues

edit* not to mention the fact that CAI's take away from the top-end a lot moreso than an SRI does

[92DX]

What would happen if you just stick in a cone filter to replace the airbox?

What would happen if you just stick in a cone filter to replace the airbox?

you have a home-made SRI

works fine for me and sounds just like an expensive cai

werd..a $20 filter with a piece of 3" OD exhaust pipe worked great for me..

ok if you wanna keep the stock shit keep your tubes...pulll the fender liner out...the little box down there >>>is<<< completley sealed up just a resonator to quiet intake noise if you want it functional just cut the bottom of the fender box out leave your little black hoses then it will cycle fresh cold air to your intake....but just taking the hoses off is jacking off and if you leave the fender pipe and dont do anything to the resonnator box youre still jacking off...so dont jack off...or youknow you could be real cheap and go buy a stock prelude filter...for a 90 -92 and slap it in the end of you black intake tube..like 8 bucks
