Question! .:Gen5 Air Intake System:.

[ModifierMR]

Back in July i had taken my entire air intake system apart on my car to paint peices of it And when i put it back together i installed a K&N high flow filter, but i forgot to install the lil snorkel inlet tube that goes from the Grill to the AIR box.

Now when the car went above 3K Rpm it sounded awsome but gas miliege suffered alot. Scince then i have re-installed the snorkel thing and all is nominal.

Now my question to TN is: Can i modify the air box i.e. Make the small snorkel inlet hole bigger to let in as much air as possible without the use of the stock snorkel?

Cause id like to get the stock air system as less restrictive as possible and i think that 1-1/2" Tube is very restrictive.

The picture below is from a Big three install i did, But the snorkel im referring to is the orange thing in the picture:

So make slots in the box? What exactly do you mean?

yeah the inlet is pretty small. i was thinking about cutting the top of it off.

your rims, tires, and brakes look excellent.

Thanx. I'm learning to keep it looking nice. I gotta try out this claybar and polish thing. usually all i do is just 1. wash. 2. cleaner wax 3. wax.

SK,
definetly get on the clay bar gig,.. visit http://www.claymagic.net/Default.htm.


try the plastic bag trick..

1. first take a plastic bag and insert your finger in it, glide your finger with the bag over the cars finish.

2. now use clay magic and repeat #1.. you will feel the plastic bag glide effortless on the finish..

simply the best.
