I am thinking of making a DIY CAI. Are there any problems with these setups with the pipe melting or softening up on hot days? What type of piping did you guys use?

 

Pvc is rated for 180 degrees I have not nor have I heard of any problems with melting, Use 3inch pvc 1ft straight one 45 degree and one 90 degree elbow Your gonna need a small beather filter for the left side oil return. Also a couple to attach the elbow to the tb. That can be found in the same aisle as the pvc .Use reg pvc cement with a spectre filter peoiled so you can address it a year later that filter just gets cleaned and re oiled w/ a kit that spectre sells. check out my profile page for a picture. good luck and take your time.

 

Do the dual filter CAIs do that much better? I would think so but then again, only so much air can go in or else people would be running setups with 4 filters, etc.

I've seen the home brewed 4" intakes that people make out of PVC pipe. Do the 4" do that much more than a 3"?

I searched but couldn't find these answers.

 

here is my PVC....i can make them "hint hint"

 

Just Installed K&N and love the tone & notice a power diff

 

i like my K&N also...

 

jet stream scoop...

 

NE one got 0-60 before and after diff intake
post em up

 

Does anyone have real numbers to back up performance gains with different CAI's? I fear that some of the performance gain is merely imagined because of the difference in engine sound etc. Thanks for any real numbers!

 

I will if my tires would stop spining write now i lost .6 sec 0-60 and gain more tire spin.
Still enjoy the sound: as of 4may10

Got 6.71 after K&N 57 Intake vs 7.11 w/ only S/C 3865 91 tuned 6200 1&2 wot shift.
