bored + question on airfilter relocation

kuskye25 · February 24th, 2008, 08:51 PM

ok so i just detailed my engine bay "before and after pics"

anyway im looking for someone that has fabricated there own piping to relocate the airfilter to the fender well, is this pretty easily done with a trip to lowes and $20 or should i just buy a cai kit.

HMUSN · February 24th, 2008, 08:53 PM

nice before and after man.

I would buy a kit myself.

kuskye25 · February 24th, 2008, 09:00 PM

which do you guys preffer for airfilter piping plastic or some type of metal, basically im asking which keeps the air cooler from engine heat, or does it not matter.

HMUSN · February 24th, 2008, 09:02 PM

plastic IMO.

here is the break down.

plastic takes longer to heat up and cool down.
metal takes less time to heat up and cool down.

it's your choice which evil you wish to pick

kuskye25 · February 24th, 2008, 09:05 PM

not to bother you to much but is there a dirt cheap plastic one on the internet, ive looked, best i can come up with is like $130 i think for fender relocation, and man that seems like alot esp most cost more then that.

HMUSN · February 24th, 2008, 09:06 PM

mods cost money man.

I would get a JLT if they make it for your car. it's the best around.

4 inch piping.

kuskye25 · February 24th, 2008, 09:07 PM

Check ebay for a CAI, I picked one up for my buddy for $30 and it was polished aluminum with silicone couplings, decent filter, not bad at all.

I had a cheap moroso fenderwell kit...probably still have it somewhere and it was plastic. I also have a aluminum one in my basement.
