Default custom cai

I built the cai that i read on here (4 inch tubing, through the front). It works amazingly. the throttle response improved greatly, as did the vibration from the flowmaster. She really was starving for air. From 0 to 100 it was smooth as a babies bottom. this tip i would recommend to all who can make it work. I'd take pics but its 10 degrees outside, so yes i threw it together. i will clean it up later and take pics when it warms up outside.

Drive it like you stole it....

Hydra, i used ur flange idea (cause im not very original, plus i happened to have one on hand) anyway, i lined it up and screwed it to the inside of the grill, so when u raise the hood it goes to. had to notch it to ffit around that funny looking clamp on the ac line. I've been impressed so far, works awesome.
