Cool New CAI - Home made

Some pics of my new CAI. Its home made, didnt do it for the performance / gas savings (although I can feel a small difference in the peddle), mainly did it for the looks.

Looks sweet - I have one coming in tomorrow supposedly....I will take some pics and post....

The one I bought comes off the hemi hat and goes down into the fender a bit. But, I may remove the hat thing and connect it directly. It should be plenty long enough.

Dude - you could market it - "Twin Ram Air Intake" - yours for only $415.

LOL - I get 10% though.....for giving you the idea!
(and a free intake)

wow, sure looks damn good for home made.

like john said, sucking in the hottest air in there. throttle response went up cuz you opened up the intake a bit, i bet it does hurt your peak hp and efficiency.

but if its just for looks, good work!
