Found 3"x8' ducting. Silver.. shiny.. and flexible. costed $6, the adapter costed $5 and I bought a K&N cone for it, so that will be here soon.

So here is a teaser

The whole intake was gutted, so this is really a before pic.

Its not the most pretty thing... but ya know, its not the worse.

Its now more tucked away, so pics tommorow.

lol.. its all for fun

where are you going to put the filter??? inside the fender??

and OH YEAH you've got one super clean engine bay

Oh damn that's ghetto! Using dryer ducting for the WHOLE intake!

I've used dryer ducting before, but it was connected to a filter to ram the air in....

Although the main point of the CAI is to suck in cold air, another thing is that the air flows smoother with a CAI. That will just cause a ton of turbulence due to all the ridges in there.

turbuletn air mixes and atomises better with fuel.

not trying to argue but its probably not much of a worry with intake vacuum and MAP (metering current volume (already in the intake) of air verses air flow density).

im moving my AFM as close to the TB as i can... makes it much much more accurate.. on cars that used to have looong intakes to teh afm this helps quite a bit.

hmmmm nobody wants a ghetto looking this and that........i think that's why....it looks smooth and if it does add a little performance.....i think the dry ducting sounds like a good idea. ^^ better than short ram =/

dont have a short ram.. and I have some piping on the way

for my CAI. I did this so I could gut my intake and get all the room I need and also see what I needed to do for when I got my CAI. Not to mention, dont have my short ram anymore
