Default Homebrew Air Intake

Well I had to hook up to the sewer where I live and had some left over piping. I also had a K&N air filter sitting around from my Mustang. So, after reading and doing some research I decided to try the "Homebrew Air Intake".

3" to 4" cuppling (air hat - PVC pipe) - $10
4" 45 degree elbow (air hat - filter) - $5
3" to 4" cuppling (PVC pipe - filter) - $10
K&N Air Filter (6" long x 7.5"w) - $60?
4 coats of Heat Paint - $10

= $100 CDN or so

Due to the size of the K&N air filter, I wasn't able to stick it closer to the fender hole where the cool air comes in. This was the only spot where I could put it and be able to easily remove the filter for cleaning.

When you stomp on the Gas, you hear the sucking of air through the air filter. I also noticed that the throttle responds a bit better as well. HP wise, I'd say minimal at maybe around 1-5.

Sounds good but you might want to see about getting a photobucket account so we can see what you did.

looks like something my budy did to his truck. saved him tuns of money because he just had the filter hanging around too,... I mean if it is working not CAI but a non restrictive air intake at lest.. then again My intake is off ebay just a cheep nock off but it was only 80 bucks and it came with the piping and every thing needed.. I will have to change out the cheep air filter next spring but then I can put in a real KNN . Man I am a cheep ***....[sm=badbadbad.gif] but with gass the way it is can you blam me ..
