Ibought this off of ebay to try out :

I did a test fit last night and everything went well no issues....now all i need is a 14" x 3" filter fab up a S Bolt and get some 4" ducting....all in all ill have spent around $75.00 total for this setup...

 

A paper filter will probably be fine
but if you want to buy a clean-able filter
the SB and AEM seem to be
a bit more honest and open in their airflow ratings.

A question in building your own dual inlet 'ram air' style system is:
"Do I connect the end of the ducts to the chamber beneath the windshield like most NASCAR intakes do, or do mount the end of the ducts at the sides of the radiator grille like the BMW M6 does?"

My guess is that the windshield gets ever so slightly less pressure but has the advantage that dirt, bugs, bit of plastic, etc, are deflected away here, but will go straight into the ducts if they are mounted facing forward.

If there is any way you can get ahold of a scanner to read your MAP and IAT sensors before and after your install of this mod, it would tell you if you are actually making improvements. AutoZone and other part stores will sometimes 'loan' you a scanner if you leave a refundable deposit.

Good luck on your project.

 

thanks for the info HankL....im going to run the 4" duct to the factory fog light location and see how it works out there...should be together by this evening....

 

Are the inlets round or oval? I know in thepicture they appear to be oval, but alot of the pics on ebay are distorted.

 

if they sold those and they were round, that would be awesome

 

Update: had to buy a air cleaner spacer from local shop it hits the bolt on the brace that goes to the accesory bracket just enough that it wont let the housing seat all the way.....$6.00 for the 3/8" spacer
so here is the total cost broke down:
Schmidt Motor Works air cleaner setup: $59.99 (ebay)
8' of 4" aluminum Duct $6.49 (local hardware store)
Air Filter $5.45 (advance auto parts)
3/8" air cleaner spacer $6.00 (local speed shop)
Black zip Ties $1.75 (hardware store)
Total: $79.38
Not bad for a full funtional ram air setup......
i will get pics up later on when i get home....

 

they are kind of oval but the 4" aluminum duct fits on it and seals nicely no problems...i have black zip ties on there for now till i find some nice clamps....all in all it came out very clean

 

When a great big long weblink makes the window super wide
{like is happening here}
you can paste the long weblink into this service

and make iit short so that the window
stays normal width.

My camera is not the best.....it died after these 2 pics.....but you can see how it turned out....

 

is that dryer vent hose? thats a pretty spiffy idea. i did something similar a while back and used RV septic line hose from wally world. i like it...whered you get the intake with dual ins?
