cold air intake thoughts

That actually looks very good, However you might want to do something to Isolate the filter from the rest of the engine bay, You might actually gain a few extra horses if you do that.

Well, you'd only get 30-40 degree air in the winter no matter where the intake was drawing air from. Even if the intake was outside the vehicle it would still draw in ambient air.

I dont know about the truck, as mine isn't boxed either.
However, I had a galant that I put a CAI on, At first I didn't have a box around it, I did notice a increase in power, But one day I decided to put an isolation box and tube going outside, I definitly noticed an big increase in power even over what I had. When I sold it I put the stock setup back and all and noticed an immediate and drastic reduction in power.

I just made one out of 4" PVC, and it has been good for me... I have not had any problems, and it has been installed for about a year. Cost me about $40 with the rubber boots, and they are far more durable than the boots that I have gotten with past kits.

I also plan on building my own rather that spend 300+ on one. What size pipe to what size rubber boots and how many. I'm kinda wanting a part list. lol but its a nice set up there. Did it mess with any sensors or codes???
