I need some opinions, I want to put a CAI on. Im looking at the Icemans which everyone knows are probably the best out there for the 1st Gen Neons. I was wondering though, what if i moved the battery to the trunk and made my own tube and say stuck a K&N cone filter on the end, what would be the difference performance wise? Thanks guys.

 

Isay try that sounds cool and there would be some performance.

 

My battery is in my trunk......Id still use the ICEMAN however cuz when u move the battery it fits in a lot better and easier to install.

 

The intake tube from a 3.0L V6 (late-90's Caravan, etc.) fits perfectly on the TB. Filter fits nicely on the end. Total cost, including K&N filter - $50 or so. Dynos show equal gains between the two until the car is making 180+ HP, where the Iceman makes a tad more. Battery relocation or slight modification of the battery tray is sometimes needed. But there are dozens of variations on this... Cheap and easy.

Best of luck!
