so i was wondering how many people have modded or made there own intakes here? i just begain to do my modified stock intake box

any pics? show them off i will try to get a pic of mine when im done! just out of being curious!!!

 

seriously nobody has done this?

 

There's the SSR thread if that's what you're talking about?

 

nope im talking about like SHG_MIKEs intake



btw SHG_MIKE im not trying to copy your style just think its a cool idea!!

 

wow this hard to belive nobody?

 

I got one I'm redoing, if you I can post pictures if you like...of couse I won't quick since I'm working on my other project

 

that cool hows the scoop coming along i really like your idea on it_

 

i'm half way through mine. no pics yet though, i've only cut out the baffles so far. next step is to replace the stock box's inlet/outlet with 2.5" pvc pipe. then i'm going to wrap it in aluminum-foil, preheat my oven to 375, and bake it with onions, carrots, and potatos, basting it every 15-20 minutes for two hours.

i'll get pics up when i've finished

 

Sorry for the slow reply....reformating the computer







I haven't done anything to the top yet...planning to just sand that smooth, with the inter-box as well.

 

 

very nice peps im almost done with mine ill post pics then

 

im done finally!!!!

very nice!!! is there a diy for this??? im looking to do mine, but have no idea how to and where to start? thanks!

 

Does it actually work? I mean, is there any noticeable improvement?

I am contemplating building my own cold air induction kit in GRP or CF but not sure if I'll have the time to do it. So if this actually works it would save me having to build the CAI kit.

 

it feels great i love it but im sure it will make a bigger difference with a knN air filter havent got one yet (yes im slacking)

 

Okay so is this better than the short ram intake?

 

yes sir do to the fact that its a cold air

 

Interesting,
I'm a newbye in engines, but can't see why on earth the airflow has been designed so full of bends and passing just above the hottest size of engine (just above exhaust!).

So I'm interested in your pics and would propose a setup moving "forward" the TB, and a new manifold removing lot of bends.

Does the ugly "photoshop" make sense?

i understand your concern but i'm not going to spend an ass-load of money relocate the throttle body for little to no benefit.

all i did was cut out the air channels inside the intake box and sand it down so it's a smooth surface. i gave up on changing the inlet/outlet to 2.5" pvc to look as oem as possible.

 

Thanks for reply, and do you feel any effect given by smoothing?
