you have a decent digital camera?

my parents camera has a "photo copy" setting, (not sure if thats the name of it) but its designed to take pictures of a written/printed paper to make copies of

I have a canon SLR, but I dont think it has that setting...

I can try to take pics of the paper.

That scoops the carbon copy I made of one that my Bro ordered off ebay... I just made a plaster mold and fiberglassed it. I think it was under bumble bee replica on ebay. I think thats what he said.


His was a urethane scoop, I dont know how to do that, so its FG for me...

Looks good, nice cutting.

To prevent water from entering my air intake, I cut a piece of plexiglas large enough to cover the opening, I used some heavy duty velcro to keep it in place, whenever it rains I just put the cover on- I'm sure you guys can think of far better ideas but this one just seemed like a cheap easy solution to prevent water from coming in.

Looking good, I hope you enjoy your functional scoop with ram air as I did mine. For the water drain off, I make a small shelf below the filter to allow it to drain.

So how does the ram air compare in sound to a CAI? I bet it sounds pretty beastly.

You can definitly hear it... it sounds great. I will try to get a vid clip sometime soon.


on a side note, has anyone installed an oil catch can on their 3rd gen? I am guessing it would go in line with the EGR return that taps into the CAI's (or whatever that vac line is... PCV maybe?)
