I just finished doing my homemade CAI. Took me a while Since I'm REAL particular about my truck and what goes in it like most of you out there. It looks pretty SWEET!!! What I did is I took the air hat off a 96 Jeep grand cherokee (with a 5.2L Magnum engine). I bought a 3/4 inch carb spacer and a 15 foot roll of 2 inch wide exhaust wrap from Summit (I love Summit. Jegs screwed me over and left a bad tast in my mouth). Then I went to the Home Depot and bought a 2 foot sectioin of 4 inch heater duct (the kind that comes in a flat sheet and you roll yourself) and a 2 inch wide metal pipe clamp with rubber sleeve. I cut mine so the pipe is 3 and 1/2 inches wide. I topped it of with a dual cone 3.5 inch air filter. Money WELL spent. It looks similar to K&N's FIPK. in total, it cost me about 40 bucks. I'm just finishing it off now by putting a heat barrier to promote more cold air. If anyone's intrested I'll be more then happy to give details and pics. I mainly wanted to emulate K&N's FIPK...I got pretty damn close to the real thing.
Here's the link.I posted pictures on a different thread. The pics are all the way at the bottom of the page. I'm curious to know what people think. let me know.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well, right? Sounds no different then before. It hasen't affected the MPG noticibaly but throttle response? It hauls A DOUBLE CROOKED LETTER. If you know what I mean. It's real aggresive. I made a heat sheild based on K&N's FIPK but it's been raining and I have no garage. Sucks, I know. But I hope that'll will make the difference, MPG wise. I'll post another pic when I put that in. Next on my list is port and polishing my throttle body.
