on ebay aem cold air intakes are around $190 plus s&h for my car and short ram is about $85.
for $10 i made my short ram intake into a "cold air intake", not that any real cold air would get into it but it is better.
so my avrage savings were about $100.

my parts:
$3.99 45 degree exhuast pipe 12" long 2.5" in diameter, aem or any other company would charge you $100 extra for the same pipe, how smart are they? pretty good profit for them.

$4 for 3" rubber conector(home depot doesnt have 2.5" so cut off some from the circumfence.

2x metal fasteners about $2

cool, take it all off and paint it, it will look good

 

well i cant really get a color to match the polished look of the original intake, so i painted it red b/c it looks better than unpainted steel. i probally wont leave it that color though. also, the crome spray paint isnt really crome looking its just shiny metallic silver. so that wont help.

 

shoulda just got a filter and made the whole thing your self. CIA's are a rip off.

 

if i did it custom i would have saved $about $55ish.

its better to do cusstom anyways.

 

cool job, guess my custom fabricationism has rubbed off on ya

 

What's missing from that bay...

it's right on the tip of my tongue...



thats right, a turbo!

 

ya...what he said....you need to get a new intake system including the part that looks like a snail

 

find me one and i will

 

e-bay brother.
