That might actually hurt the effects of the CAI. Because your forcing hot air into the engine. The cai alone is a better idea.

. It was virtually free and was easy. I did take a Saturaday afternoon and build it. It was actually a very fun project. I left in on my car for about 2 days and it worked fine. I drove my car at high speeds to see if I felt a difference. My butt dyno reported a bit more accelaration above 70 to 115. But of course, I'll never know for sure. But I will say this. It was just fun to do. It didnt hurt anything and was easy to take back off. What I really would like to do is someday take the front headlight out and route it straight in from there. Maybe it would work a tiny bit better at lower speeds.

Creative backyard engineering FTW! Some things like NOS cant be messed with but something like a RAM kit can been done yourself with a little work. I think its cool. To many years of McGyver as a kid I guess. Saving $250 for another mod is smart.
