Cold Air Intake
Cold Air Intake
Check out my new Bad A** cold air intake. From what the guy at PepBoys told me I'm getting at least an additional 20+ hp with this baby . Slap some #'s on the hood (#48 of course) and I'm ready for the track!
We'll maybe that's a little (allot) exaggerated.... but it looks cool

Re: Cold Air Intake
was it Manny, Moe or Jack that quoted 20hp? You might find it makes less hp since the stock air box pulls air from in front of the radiator
Re: Cold Air Intake
lol. Yeah I know... but it still looks better than that ridiculous looking stock air box.

Like the plywood. Now you not only have to worry about the tin worm, but also termites and carpenter ants.
Watch for little tunnels coming up the tires and along suspension parts leading to the base mount.

Plywood? Did I miss something?
Re: Cold Air Intake
I hope you remember to plug the AFM electrical connector back in, or you won't be going anywhere

Re: Cold Air Intake
The flat light blue object the AFM and the filter are attached to look like plywood in the pics. It was a joke that clearly fell flat.Foster48x wrote:kmead wrote:Like the plywood. Now you not only have to worry about the tin worm, but also termites and carpenter ants.

Sorry Karl that went right over my head.
Funny how the flash made the metal look blue like that.

Re: Cold Air Intake
George,
Like Craig I just made mine out of a piece of sheet metal from the hardware store and painted it with high heat paint. Works great. Here's a pic of it out of the car.
