hmm... inspect the thread a little more... you will see that the person who made it is still active on this site...

imo its a waste of time and money and just gives you that accomplished feeling

no offense to gf because i like him and he has helped me a lot. But that wont come into any use unless you are going like 100mph. PLUS its cheap

GreenFaleen · March 17th, 2008, 01:55 PM

it really does nothing but give you cooler ambient temps, but it sounds really kool

1BADSTANG · March 17th, 2008, 03:13 PM

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

lol I would but i no longer own the car, it was modeled after a kit for the foxes that cost over 250 bucks

JASonic · March 17th, 2008, 09:58 PM

. 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.

GF-- I went really ghetto with it... I used a coffee can in the fenderwell to start. I just cut the end off and it worked great.

haha nice, I may do the same thing to my scion I need to do some fabbing on my airbox though

JASonic · March 17th, 2008, 10:08 PM

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.
